45 miles and 5500 feet of climbing is a pretty good ride in anybody's book! Great work!

Oh, and Alex, you'll do FINE on LRRH. It has about 1000 feet of climbing.
Ed. to add: Ooops, I lied. I just checked my journal and last year's century ride was 1200 feet. Oh well, you're doomed.

Mimi,
The ride was on the east bench of Salt Lake and Utah counties in northern Utah. The neighborhood at the top of the biggest climb has a website with some cool pics.

Question for Jobob
Although I'm sure climbing will make me stronger than riding on flats, I've been thinking that I should do some longer flat rides (up to 75 miles or so) before LRRH instead of a whole lot of climbing. Whatcha think?
Alex
