Giro di Peninsula

[snapdragen]

This sounds kinda intereting: http://www.festafoundation.org/giro.html

The 100k goes through some of our best riding areas in the Los Altos Hills area.

I did that ride in about '97. I know, been a while. It's a nice ride, I will think about it.

Definite possibility. Sounds like a heck of a lot more climbing than I've ever done, but that would be a great one to train for. I've heard it's kind of a zoo... anyone else?

Looks interesting, and it's a Bay Area ride I've never done. Is there a pledge minimum?

[Trek420]

no pledges and as for the zoo-like atmosphere I think you are talking about the Chronicle Tour de Peninsula.

Friends don't let friends ride that one 8-(

TdP is horrid, crowded, over advertised, over booked, traffic cones lined the route-c'mon can't you just say "stay to the right"?, you pay extra for food at the end and it attracts a beginner ridership not that there is anything wrong with that, folks have to start somewhere but I've never seen so many people steer left when a rider says "on your left"

So, has anyone made a decision about this one? I'm still waffling.
