Death Valley is a no go! 1) I mailed in our applications on Saturday, September 29. 2) On Monday, September 32, I received an e-mail directed to the Planet Ultra list advising that the ride is filling up and anyone who's application is postmarked by 9/29/03 will be accepted. 3) On Tuesday, October 1, I received an e-mail directed to the Planet Ultra list advising that the ride is full. Any applications received on or after 10/1/03 will be returned unopened. Also, if your name does not appear on the registration list, you are not registered. The e-mail goes on to say that I could join a waiting list by sending an e-mail. 4) Due to the confusing e-mails, I asked by e-mail what our status was. I have yet to receive a response. I am a bit disapointed by the way all of this came about. First, they advised we would be in (by virtue of mailing by 9/29. Then, I was advised we were not in. As such, I am not riding today.
