The readership has spoken!

Well, that settles it then. MS150, here I come! Thanks to everyone who responded.*

Since registration is expected to close any second now, I actually signed up after the first few votes were unanimous. I also made a hotel reservation in La Grange (well, Bastrop, actually). I'm not really much of a camper, and I can't imagine I'd enjoy riding 80 miles and then sleeping on the fairgrounds with 12,000 strangers. Of course, I've got 5 months to cancel with no penalty, so I can still decide to suck it up and get the full MS150 tent experience if I so choose. I figured I'd better book a room now, though, because it took me most of the afternoon yesterday to find a hotel on the shuttle routes that even had any available. I imagine that if I searched again toward the end of March (the cancellation deadline for my hotel, not sure about others), I'd probably have a good shot of finding a room. But why take that chance, eh?

So now all that's left is fundraising and training, and maybe finding a team. I'm sure I'll have more to say about that in the next few months.

*On a sort-of-pathetic note, I was delighted to see 12 responses. That's about twice as many readers as I thought I had! Don't worry...I won't let it go to my head. ;)

I voted twice, once from home, once from work, LMAO. The MS150 looks like fun!
