Gee, I was planning to go if I can and show up like every other bike event I've ever been to.... "HI I'm here". Just so if I can make it, nobody expects anything from me. I'll find some place to crash and scrounge up some food and drink. Just so you know, I might turn around in the middle of a "ride" for no reason other than I feel it's time for it, and it's more than possible I sleep till noon. So don't include me in the head count for the field trip.
I'm not knocking your plans, it's just that I ride for just the opposite reasons of a daily structured and planned life. I've always just saddled up and gone ... plans? none. I can sleep under the bike and eat at Micky D's.
