I have ridden it twice in the past, and they do an extremely good job at logistics and aid stations. Given that weather conditions change at high altitude fairly quickly, they try to take good care of the riders. For instance, on the day we rode to Cottonwood Pass, several hundreds of riders were caught up at the pass in freezing cold rain, and they managed to shuttle them quickly down. Some folks got hypothermic, and they had some trained volunteers taking care of them along the way that day. Best of all, it is quite challenging, and you won't be disappointed :) Yes, if you ever consider doing a long ride, I would highly recommend BTC.
