All of you doing the 200K are in for a treat this year. I just rode over Coleman Valley and it is gorgeous right now. Lush & green, lot of wildflower and happy cows. Hopefully the weather will be as nice next weekend!
If there's a gathering Friday night let me know. I'll be done with registration at 9. There's a great brew pub (good beer, good pizza) in Santa Rosa too.

Gaaah, bummer, this head cold set me back some and I really won't be up to a 200K next weekend. Originally Posted by Deanna

Yes, there are two options. One is to stay on 116/River Road after turning off of Hwy 1. This will be flat and will take you directly to the the start/finish. A better route will take you by the Wohler Bridge rest stop. I can show you on a map Friday evening or Saturday AM. I'll also try to scan a map of the route and PM it to you next week.
