Since we hijacked poor Pink Kona's blown tire discussion with northern California rides, I thought I'd wheel it on over to the proper place.

Ok, Grizzy Peak -- what's it about?

Anyone done any of the MS rides? I feel I need to ride one being newly diagnosed but I do hate heavy traffic and poor organization ( I won't tell you what my brother says I think the Big O means).

What's the scoop on the Cinderella? Is just too big now? I rode it when it was 700-800 riders (my pre-Loreal days). I was just talking to my LBS last night about its problems due to Bay Area growth and the number of riders. I'm trying to get them motivated to do something similar. They actually sounded interested (they carry tons of women's clothes). Yolo and Solano counties have lots of wide open spaces and lower traffic.

My mid-winter training goals are to 1) ride from Davis to Napa and 2) ride up Diablo. So, I need to figure out what I'm training for!
