Hey there, acolytes of The Majestic Bundle o' Beans,
We're now a mere two weeks away from our journey to the burrito by the beach! To take our minds off the salivations of burrito anticipation, shall we discuss said jog?
First off, who's coming? I'm in (duh!). Who else? Who's in for the whole enchilada, er... burrito? Who wants to partake of a few bites or nibbles (i.e. run or hike just part of it)? Who can provide aid? Who might wanna take pictures or gawk and giggle? Speak up!
Please help me to encourage all involved to join our mailing list: http://groups.google.com/group/br100 We don't have a lot of messages, but some important info is here. Most importantly, please print out and bring copies of those very high-res topo maps I uploaded. Yes, a GPS would be a Very Good Idea on this run. Cell service is spotty, and we'll be in surprisingly remote places. Also carry a copy of the detailed course description: http://www.run100s.com/br100runinfo.htm
Ann and Beth (my partner, and our good friend) will spend the night in the Sierra Club Hiker's Hut in Sam MacDonald Park. They'll have some food (hot soup available!), and offer a chance to warm up if it's a blustery night. This will be at about mile 57. If you'd like to have a drop bag there, get it to me on or before the 26th, since Ann & Beth won't be at the start.
I've gotten a number of questions from folks interested in running only part of the course. Some fairly accessible entry/exit points include Half Moon Bay, Alice's Restaurant (Highway 84 & Skyline), La Honda, and Big Basin Redwoods, among others. To make this happen on this point-to-point course, some car shuttle needs to be arranged. Please express your interest here on this mailing list, finding like-minded souls with whom to shuttle vehicles.
Another option for partial runs is to use transit. That leaves two primary options: Run SF to Half Moon Bay, or Half Moon Bay to Santa Cruz. The rest of the course is pretty transit-starved. However, there is a Big Basin bus to Santa Cruz on the weekends...
Regarding speed / cutoff time, keep in mind that it's best to arrive in Santa Cruz in time to catch the 8:05 PM bus to San Jose. This connects with the northbound 9:00 PM Caltrain back to San Francisco. That gives a 36-hour hard cutoff (miss it, and you're looking at begging a Very Major Favor from a loved one for a ride). For comparison sake, this run last year took me about the same amount of time as the Tahoe Rim Trail 100 (about 28 hours).
Okay, that's it for now. Who's in?
Seeya in a coupla weeks,

Hey Fred,
I'll be there and my wife will be meeting me at a couple of points on our way to Santa Cruz. I'm not sure where the best spots to meet will be since I have never ran down in this direction...(any help with intersections or campsite addresses we will be passing would be great). Also I was wondering about the waypoints since I am a newbie GPSer. What points are we using along the way?
Thanks for putting this together.

Hi runners,
This is Ann, the partner mentioned below. I’ll be at the hiker’s hut in Sam McDonald park. We will indeed have hot soup. There’s bathrooms and a woodstove at the facility. There’s supposed to be a microwave and stove too.
If y’all have food requests, send them my way. I should have the usual – soup, PB&J, cheese sandwiches, gatorade, coke… but I haven’t run farther than six miles at once myself, so food requests might help me best help y’all make it to that burrito at the end.
Cheers,
-Ann

Just an fyi, I'm in ...somewhere. I'm trying to look at all the info
but with studying for finals, my eyes are starting to bleed. Just know
that I am in somewhere both for running and being an aid station
probably. I just have no idea where yet.

Hi all,
I am going to have to bow out of running this one, my body is asking
for a little down time. I will be able to act as an aid station at
some point along the course, and am up for suggestions of where the
best place for me to do this would be. I live in Ben Lomond, not far
from Big Basin, but that doesn't mean I need to be in that area if
there is a greater need for assistance somewhere else along the
course. Suggest away...

Fred, I'm pretty sure I'm in. I will decide for sure on Saturday after
running Rodeo Beach. I need to make sure my foot is fully healed.

Hi Guys, Andrew Wong Here. I am in for the whole 100. I am planning to
have a family member help me along the way. They’ll be driving and
meet me somewhere in Half-moon Bay , Alice’s and maybe Big Basin
Redwoods State Park and if I am lucky, Santa Cruz. I'll see you then

Fred, what's your eta for Alice's Restaurant and Sam MacDonald? I
think I'm not running myself. It's a little too complicated for
someone just getting back into the game, but was thinking that Todd
could run the Alice restaurant part with you and finish at Sam
MacDonald. I could hang with Ann til all the runners came thru.
Something like that, maybe, kinda sorta.
