Registration is on January 15th beginning at 7am. I haven't done this before, and want to give it a go. I believe Steve Kimball has done this? Anyone interested? Would love to get a few folks together to do it.
Scott.

There'll probably be a bunch doing this again in 08. It's a great over-mileage ride for those training for IMLP. I'll probably sign up.

Re: Harpoon B2B Ride
This event has a 500 rider limit and closed within 24 hours last year. I'll try to register.

Re: Harpoon B2B Ride
Never knew about this one until now. Sounds awesome. I've never done anything more than a century, Greylock being the most challenging. How would this compare? Elevation gain?

Great ride- nice roads.
The first 45 miles is flat/ fast (except getting out of Boston). Most of the elevation gain is from 45-50 miles, one long hill (but not steep). there are a lot of short steep hills towards the end that "hurt" a litle bit. Last 2 years have had perfect riding weather. A worthy effort for a few beers.
