Covington Century Ride for Youth : Official Thread

I am in for the 50, too!

Just out of curiosity, what makes this the "official" thread as opposed to just a regular thread.  I just did not want to respond to just "any old thread". 

The weather forcast will be a disappointing 82 degrees as opposed to  98 last year and 102 the year before.  BTW, I am "officially" doing 100.   

I might be in for the 100. 

Go for it Kevin!  The course is flatter than Cartersville and the weather is supposed to be nice.

I'm in and I've decided on a good, quality 50.

You are in.

You are such a good wife. 

... and he does a good job of letting people know he appreciates it. 

Doing the 100.  What makes it official?

Really?  Now how about that?  I was just being funny, or at least amusing myself when I asked what I thought was a rhetorical question.  I think I may start me an official thread one of these days. 

Do you mean identification as to who your are?  The only century that I have done that does that is the Six Gap century because although they tell you a thousand times that it is not a race, they time you.

The rest of them just gave you a sticky thing around your wrist to show you paid.  Is that what you are talking about?  Either way, I would not worry about it.   They do not do the first at Covington and as for the second, I am would think they would give you strap if you say yours was missing from the bag.  Even if they did not, you can still ride.  The volunteers at the rest stops would not really care if you have  paid or not, but the main area would care about them for the spaghetti afterwards.

"Well this year we decided not to use the bracelets……so you will be fine. I look forward to meeting you – I will be on campus all day. make sure you come back with your daughter and family for the spaghetti dinner…."


It will be fun
