    It looks like it’s going to be a gorgeous weekend and we are super excited about this event! Just a heads-up we’re getting close to our registration cap. So, be sure you get in there now and register…because the door may be closed soon!

    He may be getting several visitors as he goes round and round and round. (I can’t resist round and round rides…)

    That said, I won’t be doing a century due to doctor’s orders recovering from ankle surgery, but I’ll be doing some loopdy loos of my own at Hains Point on Saturday. The Hains Point 10. That’s my natural habitat where I raise funds, right?!? Albeit much much warmer this time.

    If anyone wants to throw some coin my way, here’s my Raise & Ride page and Phoenix Bikes thanks you!!! https://www.pledgereg.com/3553/meganjones

    IIRC the forecast early the week before last year only gave a slight chance of rain.

    I can verify that, yes, it did. It was supposed to be 50 and sunny last year right up to a week before the event. Then the day before I found myself putting everything in ziploc baggies, wearing rain boots to get through the puddles to load stuff into my car and sniffing that no one would show up. BUT, ya’ll did.

    Maybe everyone Save The Date for an unofficial Hains Point 100 next year. Looks like it would be December 20, 2020!

    In! I’ll be there in 2020 (just with less stuff and organizing)!

    Just a gentle reminder that online registration closes at 5pm on Friday. It will make checking in (so you can get your door prize number!) go quicker on Sunday if you let us know you’re coming ahead of time. Of course you can register on site, but may take a liiiiitle longer if you’re using a credit card to make a donation.

    Is the credit card information encrypted?

    The sign-up registration is done directly through WABA’s site so it goes straight to them. Not by me. It’s the same system they use for all their donations. I can ask re: encryption.

    We will also accept donations onsite during the event*. There is a form on http://www.HainsPoint100.com to provide your info so we know you’re coming but want to donate on the 16th.

    *To remain within NPS rules and permitting, I’ll state here for just in case purposes, there are no exchanges of goods or services when donations are accepted on site. Nothing is being sold as part of this event. :)
