I am in too but only if Dylan holds off his attack at least until Uplands!
A note to any of you B riders out there who have been thinking of maybe trying this ride: Try it! It is pretty intense for about 2:45, then we relax at coffee! Seriously, if you can ride a quick Friday B you can hang with this group. Although I do recommend taking it easy on the Friday before you try one of these rides so your legs are somewhat fresh. The key is short pulls and making sure the quicker riders know what you are doing. Remember, this is a drop ride so you have to work it to stay with folks like Greg and Dylan. Just let them pull longer, much longer!!
And to echo Greg, if you plan on coming out, make sure you have a solid and deep rear fender. If it is raining, those crud fenders don't help the rider behind you much because they flap side to side.

(This morning's ride was so much fun)
(I have had a lot of people ask who on earth 'arfenarf' was, so have re-registered with a handle that looks more like a name, BTW.)
