While not as exciting as Kevin's RAAM last week, several of
us Audax Atlanta alumni will be participating in this year's
Gold Rush 1200K. Riders include: Alan Gosart (3rd time!),
Peter Lee, and Steve Phillips. Mary Crawley and I will be
riding together on the tandem; I rode it with Alan in 2005.

We appear to have excellent weather for the Gold Rush this
year, about 10F cooler than 2005. The Davis Bike club was
also able to schedule the ride during a full moon, which
should light up the desert nicely, along with some stunning
sunsets. Services are very remote on this ride, with almost
no markets between controls. However the organizers do a
wonderful job with support, so I'm looking forward to our
ride.
