Thanks Women!!!

Jo, we did America's Most Beautiful Bike Ride (AMBBR) up at Lake Tahoe - 3,500 riders. And we had perfect weather for it in early June. There were 2 options, 72 miles around Tahoe, and 100 miles around Tahoe plus a loop to Truckee and back. I ended up doing the 72 because I was a little slower and didn't want to be out on the course too late. And the thinner air did get to me on the Spooner Summit climb.....I had to SAG 4 miles to the top. But otherwise it was a good first effort for me.

The Harvest Century has 3 rides, 23, 37, and 60, so it's a metric century. We'll probably do the 60. I don't know if it's closed yet or not. Check it out at www.healdsburg.org .

I heard about the Cinderella last year when I first started and wasn't quite ready to do that one. I'm on their mailing list, so I'll be able to get to it next year.

Also, in case anyone is interested, there's another Tahoe ride called Tour de Tahoe in September. Info can be obtained at www.bikethewest.com. They are the same folks that put on the AMBBR. Excellent support staff and food. The CHP and Nevada State Troopers were great keeping the traffic under control. The road around Tahoe doesn't have much of a shoulder and there are alot of tourists.....

Thanks!
