-Here is a link from my 2005 CNC journal. It may be helpful to newbies. I discuss the tent city, food, shower trucks, pace-lines,and port-a-johns, among other things. It also has photos: http://www.crazyguyonabike.com/journal/?o=aw&doc_id=718&v=c
Trout , your journal was excellent. I hope you do one for 2005. I cannot join you this year but maybe next year. I have done 2 CNC and enjoyed them both. I am yet to hear of someone that does not enjoy CNC.
Thanks Trout for sharing, you've quenched my curiosity. I kinda figured it would be similiar to the story you told. And from the looks of this year's event, it seems we'll be spared the outdoor camping. Hopefully I get a chance to meet you cousin (since we share the last name). Looking forward to the ride.
