Hey CJ/Paul,

Ok -- I crunched the numbers and reduced the reg to $60 for the 50m, and $40 for the 24m

This increments by $10 on Nov. 19 at midnight, and $10 again on Nov. 26 at midnight -- with reg closing on Nov 29 at midnight.

The TO-DO List (please take initiative and tell me what you're doing):

Permission

-- Final USA Cycling Permit (Fun Ride)

-- Permission to have a tent or whatever by the Statue on Dec. 3rd between 7am and 8am.

-- A parking lot to have everyone park at, prep, and set up registration from 7am to 3pm.

Sponsors for Aid Stations 

-- Aid Station #1 -- Laurel Hill or Possibly Workhouse Parking Lot (Permssion and Sponsor). Could use the parking lot at the Equestrian Center too -- Bikenetic?

-- Aid Station #2 -- Gunston Hall or Possibly Meadowood MTB Trail Parking Lot (right next door to the Elementry School on Gunston Road) -- Permission and Sponsor -- Spokes?

That's where you and CJ need to work. Get us a parking lot and place to do reg.

Also, 

It will be cold. We should do check-in/staging in the Johnson center, right next to the statue.

Only one has registered so far - Jack Katz - so it's not too late... maybe $50/$55/$60 for the 50-mile... $30/$35/$40 for the 24-mile?

What price do you think it should be?

Kyle, 

I think $100 is a bit much if we want to encourage a large number of participants. I've participated in full centuries with full support and even a catered meal at the end which cost less than this. 

I certainly wouldn't pay $100 for this event, no offense. 

Just a thought
