Advance registration ($20) cutoff is midnight tonight, April 30th. After midnight tonight, online and in person registration goes up to $25.

In addition to helping support Bicycle Alliance of Washington and getting a slice of pie at the finish, also included for those who pre-register is a pair of cycling socks (available while quantities last for day-of registrations).
