I understand Craig what you mean.  I have done the MS150 in '03 and '05, and
I have no intention on riding with the pack.  I will definitely be breaking
away and that's a promise, and I don't plan on stopping at the rest stops
either.

I have room for 2 more bikes and 2 more cyclists if ya'll want to carpool
and save gas.  We can leave at the crack of dawn and be back to Gville
shortly after noon.

Thanks for passing this along, Huan. I thought I should offer a word of
caution to anyone considering doing this ride. I went on this ride several
(ok, many) years ago. That ride was full of people "training" for the MS
150. Many of them weren't familiar large group riding and definitely did
not
know the customs associated with it.

About half way through the ride, in a large pack going about 18 or 19 mph,
a
woman went off the side of the road and attempted to jump back on. She fell
right in front of me and I rode across her arm and collarbone before I went
down. I was unscathed, my bike was not. She left in an ambulance. I left in
the sag wagon. Many experienced riders in the group told me afterward that
there was no way I could have avoided her.

Now I stay far far away from any ride associated with the MS 150. If you
go,
just watch out for the newbies.
