Nope, I have the Davis 200 K brevet the day before.

I bow to you!! That's my life goal, as spoken by a flatlander. I grew up in that area, had my senior high school picnic there. But I haven't even ventured to ride it. I can barely make it up the local Cantelow...
someday...

Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,
"I will try again tomorrow".

Hey V- I trust you did the south side. I wonder what the diff would be if you had done the north side (shorter steeper depending on where you begin).
I'm totally impressed! But of course I'm not surprised as you've really worked hard this year. All of that hard work is paying off!! Yipee!!!!
If I didn't have floor issues at home this weekend, I'd do the brevet with you. I've done all of that route in one way or another and it's not bad as you know. I'm sure you'll be a star on that ride as well!
You might look at the 2005 stats for women your age Diablo Challenge and see how you compare. Bet you'd be in amongst the top contenders! Nancy

RoadRaven "Particularly considering its almost all uphill..."
almost? it's allllll uphill, one of those "even when it looks flat it's not" hills.
I'm in awe.
I've gotten perhaps a mile from the top

I suck, but I do love to climb. Yeah. Me, in the turtle group, bringing up the rear! I haven't done any hills this summer.
But seriously, let me know when you all decide to attack MD sometime.
How many miles is that ride?

I'd be curious to know about an MD ride as well!
