Well, I am a glutton for punishment.  Just signed up for my 4th BP MS150 from Houston to Austin.  It's only 74 days away and my bike is still in the case from my attempted CA trip in September.  Looks like a lot of difficult days ahead to get back in shape for this, but it's worth it.  I'll do my best to keep you all posted both here and on Twitter. @CAtransplant
