I can't wait to see a map of the new course. RCC always had a map posted at their web site. I even saved the map image the year I did it. Wow a different course this year! And I'm sure just as challenging if not more so!
I would love to do the climb to Paradise again. I love climbing. And the thrill of flying down Paradise! Just awesome! One of the best rides I have ever been on. Great people, great ride, great support! I would love to do the RAMROD again. But next time . . . with someone or with a group or team. The first time I did it I rode solo and that was not a good thing. I made it to Cayuse at 1:21 PM and just bonked. People working at the stop on top of Cayuse (where you pick up 410) were very encouraging and said it was all down hill from there but I was drained! A very kind man named Greg (no not Greg Lemond . . . but he did ride the RAMROD that year) gave my bike and me a lift to the end. So yes I would definitely do it again but with a team or a bunch of friends.
Thanks for the info Mimitabby!
