Runs with Scissors

Given my time on the two times I've done Black Star - Motorway, I'm about 90% in on signing up for CC.
10 days until registration opens, and they still have "check back for registration details." I don't see a link; maybe I'm just missing it. Never done this one, so I am not familiar with their registration process. Who do they use?
Bumping this since it's reg night. 1 hour to go!
I'll be signing up, and bringing 3 more NorCalers for VQ. We all need comeuppance on last year's carnage. Who else in in?
I look forward to seeing some of y'all for the race. This has always been one of my favorite races.
CC again, it’ll motivate me to get out for a few bigger rides. Plus it’ll give me something to whine about on here for a few weeks next year when I don’t train nearly enough, again.
I’m in, 7th vq and all on a single speed
There is no quitting at the bottom of Motorway this time. No matter how wet and/or cold it is.

My record got ruined last year. Paid a ton of money to ride blackstar/motorway and be cold.I knew I never should've started that first one geared! Ruined my record forever, and I didn't even finish that year.
...There is a good chance that I'll change my mind the first time that I'll try riding up B* on SS.

Don't let the first time up Blackstar on the SS change your mind. That time is always tough.
Once you have it in your head to do either of these races SS, you have to. If you put it off this time, you'll want to do it next time, or the time after that.
I'll be busy on the 1st so I'm banking on it not selling out quick. Either that or I will be on my phone at a concert in Vegas. ha ha

Fighting my self-doughts is one of the main reason I take on these challenges.

You replied before I had a chance to fix my spelling.I've ridden with you enough to know that you are strong enough to push the SS. Now, you may to adjust your gearing, but you'll be able to knock it out.
I'm planning to register in 13 minutes.
It will be my 4th.
Last year I took VQ of my bucket list, and I don't see a reason to repeat.
My current plan is CC on SS.
