    Cobb is really not that bad. There are some steep-ish sections, but it's over before you know it.

    I thought that was one of the first things we covered in the Academy. Bicyclists lie.

    Mongo hate hills......

    OK, how much climbing is on the davis 400K? I'm debating between that and the Arizona 300K on the 28th. I think I need back to the midwest....

    I am estimating 13k of climbing. nothing nasty - cardiac is the only "climb" I can think of. mind you, I don't actually have the route sheet yet, just a general route description.

    Actually, Cardiac really isn't bad. And I'm pretty sure Cobb Mtn isn't on your route. And you can trust meeee.

    Here's a writeup of the Davis 400K from 2003; no idea if it's the same route this year, though.

    It looks like Davis is out, I won an FSA K-wing handlebar at a a club drawing, and my LBS is backed up(I needed some other stuff done), and I really didn't try to that distance with a new setup, so I debating between the 300K from Camp Verde to Flagstaff, or the Wildflower(I know , the wildflower will knock me out of the R-12 challenge on Bike Journal, although Bryan G has claim that he will ride with me...
