Curious about the Cinderella Route?

[Trek420]

If you're curious about the route, why not talk it up over dinner with a bunch (well so far 3) gals who've ridden it before.

Melissa, thanks so much for giving us this information. That's a neat device you've got there.

I am assuming that the Cinderella metric is the same route every year. Please correct me if I've assumed incorrectly.

Hey KJay! Are you going to ride in the Cindy again this year? I think the Cinderella route is pretty much the same year after year. OTOH, what do I know? I've only done it once, and that was from a different starting point.

Trek, sounds like you'll all have a blast. I have plans on Friday night, so please do some carbo loading for me!

I'm still planning to show up for cindy ride.

few minor obstacles:

my regular training ride is only 40 miles with about 2200-2700 feet of climb. nothing at 50 or 60 miles. I hope the 10-12% grade for 5 or so miles will make up for the 20 mile shortfall.) I climb 2200-2700 feet in about 10 miles. 20 mile is flat 10 mile of climb and 10 mile of descent.

Caught a cold/flu the other day. came home early and been sleeping most of the day. I'm still showing up regardless though.

I think I might take short cat naps at rest stops, I should be able to finish. So thank you for giving me an idea on the route. 1600 feet of climb at 2% or so isn't too bad.

As for the dinner, I have no idea where any of these places are... and if I'm still sick, I don't want to expose anyone else with this nasty bug.

Well, this is all a little more last minute than before but don't worry about us, the 3 so far are not planning on riding, and BG is retired so it's not like she'd miss work. So if you'd like to go and Rockridge would would work for you I'm sure we can work it out.

We could even .... meet in Berkeley Saul's if you need chicken soup.

BG suggested Rockridge area to make it BART'able. Where will you be headed from? PM me if you need my cell for any last minute info.

BG IS RIDING THE CINDY- she may even do the challenge

I'm in too -- I was able to find a ticket! (Many, many thanks to Jobob for forwarding all the emails from folks needing to sell their Cindy tickets!)

No pre-ride TE dinner for me, though. Hopefully someone will do some carbo loading and have a Kamikaze for me.

Hi, Melissa! Yes, am riding again this year but am not staying overnight in the area so won't be going to the pre-ride dinner. If you're at the dinner next year, I'll go, too. :-)
