I'm sitting this one out until I get back to Ohio. Around here a "hard climb" is a 60-foot-tall bridge

Well, I signed up for the Mt Shasta Summit Super Century so I guess I'd best be crackin' the whip.
I'll be staying where the lunch stop is located - the Mt. Shasta Resort - which might not be such a great idea, motivation wise.

Oh, fun! I think I'm going to stay at the same hotel as last year...I guess I better get it booked. It was over in Weed about 6 miles away, but I really enjoyed my stay. I'm going to go down a few days early...maybe we can do a TE dinner the night before, or something.

Lee is doing the metric. I told him I'd be signing up for the Super Century and he just smiled and said "have fun, dear."
We could have an after-ride celebration on our deck. I can see us now, conked out on the deck chairs.
Maybe before the ride would be a better idea ...

With apologies for the thread hijack...
That sounds like a nice place to stay. Originally Posted by jobob

Having done the century last year, I know exactly where that is, and it is an easy ride to the start line. The post-ride get together sounds good...but I have to say that last year, after the century, there was a little chatting there at the end with a couple of SK's friends from Sacramento...and then I more or less collapsed into an epsom salt bath, then face planted into bed. 
Who knows? Maybe with MP's incredible coaching this year, I will be ready to party all night after the ride. But, since I'm also signed up for the Super, I have my doubts. 
(PS: I think I'm going to do some camping this year, and then get a room for a day or two before the ride, and the day after.)"The best rides are the ones where you bite off much more than you can chew, and live through it." ~ Doug Bradbury

We're thinking about Shasta also. We have some child care issues to sort out. (This is NOT a ride for the tandem.
)
No climbing for me this month - except hiking!
