Gettin' Kinda Nervous

It's only January and I'm getting nervous for the STP. Registration opens February 1st for non-CBC members, and you can bet I will be on there registering at 9am! But I'm still restricted to light workouts for a few more weeks, and I don't even have a bike yet. I've been perusing the STP site (along with the rest of the CBC ride pages) pretty heavily the past day or two. (I'm a planner, what can I say?) The start time for two day riders is 5:15-7:30 am. Since I am a planner and I have never done this before, I will want to be there long before 5:15 so I know what's going on and can try to be one of the first out of the gate. They let riders go 10 at a time, not sure how order is decided. So it looks like I will not be able to sleep at my parents' house the night before, or I won't be getting any sleep since I would need to leave around 2am. Now I need to figure out lodging but I really don't want to have to spend more money. Oh well, it'll work out. I better sign off since Sam is awake and I need to leave for "work." Better go wake up Zach and put him to work feeding Bubb Rubb (Zach's name for Sam. Came from Bubba.)
