Hopland 400km numbers

[Rob Hawks]

We had 64 riders on the roster the night before. 6 riders did not show up at the start (4 of which never contacted us to say they weren't riding). 58 riders started on Saturday. 7 riders DNF'd. 51 riders finished. Adding the 5 riders from the worker's ride there were 56 finishers, up 3 from last year. This was the 3rd most finishers on the SFR 400km regardless of route (83 in 2011, 61 in 2010).

The first rider arrived just after 11pm (17 hours) and the last rider arrived at 8:45 on Sunday (26h45m). Rider results in the next day or so.

Ah, I love numbers.  Here are mine, along with some photos from the ride:

This time I spent most of the time riding with Carlos.  Keith joined us shortly after Hopland and Mike at around Chalk Hill.  David joined our Hopland-Petaluma "express train" a bit before Petaluma - felt like we were really flying and making great time. A special thank you to you guys for sticking with me on the last leg of the ride when I had only one leg to pedal with.

Thanks again to everyone that made the ride happen.  I had another super experience and really appreciate your efforts.  I'm hoping to ride the Fort Bragg 600k but if my knee doesn't heal before then I'll volunteer to help out on the ride instead.

I had a great time, riding this course for the first time. I started in a large group, rode a good portion of the ride with Jason and Jesse, had a flat on Astin Road and rode by myself until the approach to Petaluma. I was grateful for the tailwind in that section. I enjoyed the serenity of Chalk Hill climb. I was later caught up by Ken, Greg and Jon, and we rode to finish together. Here are some pictures:
