This will follow the new cccts system.  Registration will take place on the cccts website.  A computer generated lottery system will be used to assist in the selection of riders in the event that a ride is oversubscribed.  The lottery sign-up will run for 3 days, after which a wait list is automatically generated and the leader will review the results.

If the ride is not filled to capacity, registration will still be allowed until the registration close date above.  Deposits and payments are non-refundable unless replacement person(s) are found.
