I'm thinking about doing the 40 miler, but the course hasn't been posted yet. The century looks tough!

I wonder what the 40 mile route will be. The 100 mile goes right by my house...almost.

Why did they have to put it the same day as Death Ride? That's lame.

Hmmm. The Portland 40 mile course looks relatively flat...maybe San Jose's will be too...she said in a small hopeful voice...

Looks like it will be challenging for many of us, but do-able. I'm not familiar with the roads past Silver Creek Valley, but that looks like a hard climb.

Ed to add: And it's for a very good cause. I was re-reading Fat Cyclist's blog, and he & his wife had a lot of help from the LAF.

The Philly ride this year has a 60 miler, I wonder how the route will change from the 70 miles last year, since it is definitely starting at the same place unlike the first and second years. I signed up for the 60, but the rest of my team is doing the 45 mile one and I'm nursing an inflammed shoulder and have been banned from my bike by my ortho. So I'm starting to think that I'll be with my team on the 45 mile. I agree, the atmosphere is wonderful! And the 40 mile last year was plenty challenging for me.
You too can help me fight cancer, and get a lovely cookbook for your very own! My team's cookbook is for sale Click here to order. Proceeds go to our team's fundraising for the Philly Livestrong Challenge!
