I'm skipping it this year as far as racing goes, although I might try to zip over there to check out some events (any excuse to drive to the coast). Doing "the wall," as I affectionately call it, each of the three laps and then having to climb those 3 steep miles to the finish with a bad back would make my chiropractor rich and very happy. Not for me this year.
Good luck to those racing & doing the century!
