Elephant Rock 2010

I Signed up for the 2010 edition of the Elephant Rock Cycling Festival.  I’m not really sure how many times I’ve done the Elephant Rock.  I think my first one was in ’98.  I know I haven’t done it every year since then, but I think I’ve done it most years.  I’ve committed to the century this year.  I figure if I’m expected to be doing Day 1 of the BTC two weeks later, I better be able to do the Elephant Rock century by the first weekend in June. 

BTC 2010 sans Meals

Signed up for the BTC today. 

I didn’t need to sign up for meals yet, so I didn’t.

BTC 2010

Getting ready to register for the Bicycle Tour of Colorado. Marcie isn’t going to be able to ride it this year because of her knee, so I am on my own. She and the kids may be BTC groupies and follow the tour independently.
I was looking at the meal plan and made the mistake of getting the calculator out. Don’t get me wrong, the food was good, even great by cafeteria standards, but it works out to be more than $17 a meal. I know if I went to a restaurant and paid $17 for their food, I would feel ripped off.
I know I need to take into account the other options I would have. I am going to camp and most mornings I would not have access to a microwave, much less some place to cook and clean up. For the cost, I could eat out every meal, but some of the tour stops are pretty small and I don’t like the idea of relying on there being a restaurant every day. Bonking early in the morning because I couldn’t find anything to eat would be bad.
