sadie-is that the Cardiac Hill in Foxy's Fall Century?

Ohh! another ride we could plan for - it's in October

Yes'm, but it is only on the 100 mile route (or at least used to be). It wasn't bad at all . . . just long. I did it easily in a 30x26 gear and I don't have the hills you Bay Area girls have on which to train.

I would be more than happy to host a ride up here following the 100k route if we don't have a SAG. I would recommend we do it at a prettier time of year with less iffy wind conditions. The Foxy Fall is always fun, but it isn't the prettiest time of year here. There are ton of flat, flat miles where that wind can drill right into you. We could do this route again -- 55 really nice miles with the only two "big" hills in the 1st 10 miles. We'd just want to do it before/after boating season.

For those coming from way far away, I could even put up a few of you - 1 hideabed, 1 squishy sofa, and lots of floor space with thermarests.

Editing this to say that the route we did today was the really pretty part of the Foxy Fall. The remaining 45 are just the flat stuff between Davis and Winters. The part that is windy, not so scenic and just burns energy before the hills.
