The course is awesome, the cause is great, and the organization of past Tour De Cure events I have attended has been top notch. You chose a really good ride for a first fund raiser!

It's free and easy to create a 'Midnight Ridazz' team.
(Not sure whose approval might be required, or if there already is one).
I know I saw some other Ridazz there last year? MD2 I think I saw you there?
Anyway you only need 5 people to start a team, each raising the minimum $150.
The whole process of raising the $150 is totally web driven, super easy to use, and integrates with your Facebook page and friends if you have one.

We only have to raise 150 bucks per person! Not too bad? Better than 3,000! *Aids Life Cycle*

for training rides - just get on your bike and ride. start putting miles in. dont go to stupid party rides for training. thats retarded. youre going to be riding 100 miles, not drinking 100 beers in 100 7-11 parking lots.

@kakihara -- No prob! I'm not on the site yet but I plan on signing up by the end of this week! PS: it was awesome see ya on Monday!
As for training:
RBI is right you need to put some miles in. Sure you can do a century without training for it -- but what's the fun in that? If your body isn't use to sitting in a saddle for 6 hours the experience won't be all that great -- just really painful (but still mildly fun because we're sickos who like bicycles).

RBI I'm still waiting to hear back from the TOUR ADMIN to get onto the team :| they're slooow on responses. *Shrugs* So far I've got 133$ so I raised my goal to 300
Anyway yeah man Just ride a lot and put miles in. The training I did for my ride to San Diego was on a specific day I'd do a long ride. First week is 40 miles then the second was 50+ then week 3 was 75miles. Also in between the Long Haul days I'd be riding shorter rides.
