Hey Slinke -- haven't seen you posting on here in a coon's age!

I had my eye on the double metric. The "easier" option was going to be the century. But, um, I may end up doing the metric century. I guess it all depends on how I'm feeling in a couple of weekends.

I'm training for the AIDS/Lifecycle ride in June, so I've been trying to teach my body how to ride longer distances day after day. I know there's hills on the Ride, but I don't think there's anything with an 18% grade. We did Quadbuster a few weekends ago, and it certainly wasn't 18%.

So, I guess now I need to figure out which Tierra Bella route would best serve my training needs.
