I'll be doing it again this year. Have you done it before?

Great idea. I've wanted to see a "TE Top Ten Centuries" thread. This year due to the AIDS ride I'm not doing many centuries. Thinking ahead to next year I may want to do some riding just to ride rides and want to know the best. I'll start it off by saying of the centuries I've done to date my favorite was the Chico Velo Wildflower. I'll admit it, I did the "mild flower" version.
Best Food!! I'd pay just to eat their food, linzer tort energy bars, gourmet micro brew root beer, the best black bean and wild rice salad I have ever seen or eaten.
Support: very good, plentiful and helpful
Scenery: very nice
Riders:good crowd
only down side, weather can be iffy, often rains
oops, almost forgot, Chico is North of the Bay area, about 4-5 hour drive, close to Redding.

and editing again other rides that are on my "list of things to do" are the Party Pardee, and the Solvang. Love to hear about 'em.

Where the ride was/is might be helpful also.
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"
