List of Registered Riders.

This 1000k cannot be used to qualify for PBP.  However, it will help a rider have early registration based on what we know now.  In 2011 a rider must complete a SR series (200,300,400, and 600km) to qualify for PBP. I hope that riders will use this ride to improve their chances on completing and being prepared for PBP.
