    April....hmmm, not sure. My first mountain century is May 5th, so April will have to have a good amount of climbing in it.

    I'm going to shoot for 14,000 ft.

    I'm shooting for 18,000.

    Hopefully I can start it out right with a ride tomorrow up Palomares, Crow Canyon & back down to Sunol & over Calaveras.

    I have a hard time setting actual climbing footage goals because I don't have an altimeter but I will attempt to climb Knox Mountain once a week in April, AND do hill repeats on Steele road and/or Gordon Hill once a week. If that's unmanageable, I'll alternate the two - one on week, and the other the next week.

    Got 34,200 for March. Probably shoot for 20,000 in April. I think it may be a quieter month. Famous last words.

    Davis Dirty Dozen

    TrekHawk, I hope you've been training hard. I've got the Davis tour all mapped out for you. 6 bridges and 6 tunnels in 14 miles with only 120 ft of climbing.

    Looks like a few killer climbs in there. I better up my hill training.
    Lucky I have the Trek with those granny of granny gears.
    The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
