Caligurl - what is KOM (I'm not up on all the abreviations yet!)

bcipam - I found a guy online who wrote some reviews of the trails and he did say that the san gabriel had some iffy areas but he didn't mention any issues with ths Santa Ana... what do you think?

As far as prep time, you'll be way ahead of me! I can't get on any bike until the first of March and even then I'll have to stick w/my mtn bike for a week or two (more upright - less pressure on my arm) I do plan to do the 30 mile ride at the tour de sewer, then the 68 miler in may. THANK YOU for the overview on the 68; that will really help me prepare!

I hope that someday we can hook up and ride together! Although Caligurl and Bikerchick68 SCARE me - they are wicked studettes!!!!
