Thanks for everyone who has filled out the survey questionairre about the event. A few people suggested that we open the event to other clubs and/or to the public to make some money, but this is not as easy as it sounds. There are permits involved, and handlnig that many more riders involves having many more volunteers. These events don't generally make money for our club, the food, etc. costs money so we operate as best we can to provide a great ride for everyone. Also we did try to invite other clubs to make it a true "Club" century, but we didn't get a response from the clubs we contacted, so apparently there wasn't any interest from them in participating.
I should have added a question about the best part of the ride! For me it was rounding the corner around Hagg Lake - Aleson and I saw a Mama doe - missing her right front leg - actually running on 3 legs, followed by two babies - Bambi! So sad and cute at the same time. Nature can be pretty amazing.
