Heh. I did that route last year and after I was done, I realized there was a loop at the end. I was determined to remember for this year's ride so I could take advantage of it if I was dying. Of course, I A: now live in OR and B: obviously forgot all about it or I would have mentioned it. Sorry. It is a bit of a challenge no matter what route you take and every year it's going to get bigger and better as more women come out to give it a try. A few of those hills are nothing to sneeze at. It's a nice workout.
