Looking forward to meeting you all! Decided against the 100k since it's my
first time doing the D2R2, I'll be riding the Green River Tour with a buddy
of mine.
Say hello if you see me, I'll be on my green Sam with drops.
Safe travels out there, and have fun tomorrow!

I'll be there to ride the 100K. I'm riding alone so would love to meet other

I'm in. Still deciding between the 100 & 115k and christening a new

I'll be at D2R2, for my fifth year. It's an incredibly beautiful route, and
I highly recommend it.
Give the 100km a shot—forget that hype. D2R2 is challenging, but you can
find a bailout route if it stops being fun. Bring a map, pencil, and paper
if you're concerned. You'll find locals and D2R2

Give it a try.
The full 180K is a leg buster, and that's the route everyone has in mind
when they talk of how hard D2R2 is.
The 100k is not easy, but it's a much more manageable route, and there are
bailout points throughout.
All that aside, D2R2 a great event. Friendly crowd, lot o' of
