Healdsburg Harvest Century - 7/21/07

I've signed up, too! I'll be visiting my mom in Napa in July, so I'm timing the visit to include the ride. Is anyone familiar with the route? I've seen the ride described as fairly flat, and the ride page describes it as moderately challenging. What's the route?

We had a pretty lengthy discussion about the ride last year. Do a search on Healdsburg Harvest and you shall see.

Thanks! It looks like Chalk Hill is the only real climb, otherwise flats and rollers. Is that about right?

Flats and rollers if your in shape, if you're like me - they're all lung busters...

Chalk Hill wasn't steep, just a bit on the long side. It's one of those relax, gear down, keep breathing, take your time, relax (did I already say that? oh) and you'll eventually get to the top kind of hills.

And last year there was a rest stop at the top with volunteers cheering on the riders, which was really nice.
