Congratulations Veronica! That road up the hill is amazing! This does NOT sound like an "easy" double. I didn't know there was such a thing.

I think she meant her first double (Spring Solvang) was easy. This one is listed as "extremely high" - easier than Tam (which she did last year) and tougher than Solvang spring, Davis, etc.

Thanks for clarifying. Though I think "easy double" is an oxymoron of sorts.

You'll notice I put easy in quotation marks.
I have to say I think Tam was a bit easier than Central Coast. Maybe it was the wind. Maybe it's the extra 9 pounds I'm carrying. Maybe I've just blocked out feeling crummy at all on Tam.

Well, you'd also ridden a lot of the Tam course in the weeks leading up to the event. I think that helps a lot.

Oh Jo, Solvang Fall is on my calendar. That's a cool birthday present to give yourself.
