Any Terrible Two Riders?

[Deanna]

If there any of you planning on doing the Terrible Two this weekend -- have a great time. It's supposed to be almost 90 degrees in the Santa Rosa plain tomorrow, which means it could be pushing 100 back in the Geysers area when you're heading over it--be sure to top of the bottles and tank up at the rest stop before you head out there.

I hope to see you at the finish--I'll be working there starting at 7pm!

Not I - I gave up my TT dreams when I bailed on DMD. Maybe next year... I still have doublitis.

Volunteers rock! Hope you have a good day. Is Doug riding it?

Doug's not riding this year--his band got a gig at the North Beach Festival during the afternoon. Hmmm, torturing himself over the hot hills and paying to do it, or playing for a bunch of happy people in naturally air conditioned San Franciso AND get paid. The decision wasn't too hard. He'll be part of the crew at the finish though.

I have two friends, both named Paul (you can't make this stuff up), who were going to do it. Are results out yet???

We rode the second half of the course a couple of weeks ago and it was the hardest 108 miles I have ever done. I thought Skaggs was bad when I drove it, but that paled in comparison to Ft. Ross!!!!

Skagg's Springs seemed to really take it out of a lot of people this year--that's where the really hot temperatures hit. We had not only the largest field, but the largest percentage of DNF's this year.

The provisional results have been posted to the club chat list, but it hasn't been finalized. What are the last names of the Paul's you're looking for? My brother-in-law is also a Paul, he's done the TT the last 11 years (frequently on a tandem, though not this year).

Well, I've found out that one Paul (Duren) DNF'ed at about 120. Heat was a huge issue.

My other Paul is Paul Worhach. Hope he made it. It sounds brutal this year.
