Long Distance Girls....

[cindysue]

I just mailed in my reg for the Davis 300K brevet in a couple of weeks.

did I miss something? where's the report? How was it? How come I heard nothing about this at Cinderella? I guess this is what I get for selective post reading.

edit - thanks snap for posting the link below

Moved over to this thread per MP's orders.

I cleaned up the drunken ramblings down in Vacaville. I couldn't handle it. I also cleaning up a bit of the careenings around Healdsburg just cuz.

I also looked more closely at the route and it looks like Foothill is actually the 4th left but in 2 decades of riding the route I've never noticed Hardesty. Foothill is obviously a major intersection (major for the country) and is 5 miles after you start that gradual downhill from Cantelow.

For Vacaville -

--Come down Cardiac and hang a right at Pardehsa's Store (the 3-way to Lake Solano) and you know this intersection
--Go south for several miles up a false flat with a few rollers. The top will be Cantelow Rd (1st turn to the left).
-- Stay straight and continue several miles on a long slow downhill past 2 more roads to your left.
--4TH rd on your left is Foothill and the biggest intersection of the 4.
--This is the key: once you swoop around at the beginning of Foothill, you will essentially begin a series of turns that always take you east or north. The one exception is the I-80 overpass at Sparling and Pedrick which you know from the Fall 200k.
--Once you're over 1-80, it's the same return route. Stay on Tremont until you run into the T and turn north. Last leg take you right to the finish.

Wow, SK listens!

I need to print out all these things about the 400k and pore over them. Just really hoping it doesn't rain. I really love that this ride is pretty flat. Should be speedier all things considered.

MP & V & SK, did you see the this email from the DBC email list? (I saw it on the list archive)
