I have done this trip as a support vehicle 4 times.
Can highly recommend it. Contact me through member message and I can give you all the details, answer questions, put you in touch with others who do this trip etc. I will also be doing it again in 2009.
Actually, the event has been running for over 20 years.

Yep, went as support for a mate in 1998, rode it in 2001. Great event, very tough on riders, some say even tougher on support crews. See the website, has a section on whats expected of support crews and tips for cyclists as
well.
SDCC I would recommend it to anyone silly enough.

I'm giving some though to competing in 2009, or potentially as support if I don't.....
