I think since I've done some freakishly long rides - Central Coast at 209 miles! - I just kinda figure, what the heck. I know how to fuel myself and what works and where to keep my heart rate. I know things will hurt. It's just a question of how much and what. I don't think it will be my back. I've had two months of consistent core work.
I'm worried about the saddle time and its effects. I'm hoping for 15 hours or less.
Here's the route with an elevation profile at the bottom. None of the climbs are more than 800 feet. :D It looks like it's actually about 188 miles.

Well, it looks like a pretty ride at least. We were out today and the wildflowers are already starting to come out. You'll probably see lots of mustard. It seems to be in full bloom and in abundance in the vineyards and on the hillsides.
I agree- once you get past Fairfax on the way up and back, at least you'll be out of most of the traffic until you come back through Santa Rosa.
Have a great ride- at the moment the weather is looking good. You are always up for a challenge so this will be another to tell us about later!:D
Looking forward to your ride report!

Veronica, I will be thinking about you tomorrow and wondering how far you have riden by such and such a time. I think it is a testiment to your biking ability to ride this far, in a day. I tip my helmet to you:p

Yowzer, V, you're an animal. :eek: You'll do great! I wish you the best out there: little wind, good temperatures, smooth roads, and plenty of fuel. Can't wait to hear all about it!
-
Try to have fun, although I know without The Perfect Jersey it will be tough. :)
Should be a good day for riding.
-
That's amazing! Best of luck you to, I know I'm too scared to attempt a ride that long. Much respect to you.
-
Good luck, V. Remember, it's better than being inside with Coach Troy.
Look forward to reading the ride report!!

Good luck V, I am still trying to get a metric or a century under my belt. Are these the roads Levi uses to train on when he is home?
Once again, good luck and happy eating.

Good luck out there tomorrow Veronica! :)
