    Question form the "new gal" (who is marking off the the remaining days until I have to make the attempt! )

    Do you guys ride the North Gate approach over the South gate approach because it is harder/steeper?

    I think we ride North Gate more because it is in the middle geographically. I'm coming from Davis and Jo comes from the south bay. Kim - well, it's in her back yard. Also closer for Princess Zippy.

    Could be wrong on this though.

    So, is there a scheduled attempt?

    Convenience - it's a shorter drive for us.

    Nooooo - Not actually scheduled yet, but I'd like to try for the last weekend (30/31) in July. It's my birthday weekend, so it would be a good way to celebrate (or mourn) my condition, depending on how it goes! (Plus a little more time to build up my legs and lungs!)

    Trek said she'd do it too, didn't she? I guess I should get a date on the calendar so I have so fixed focus point. Looking at those pictures and grade charts, I can't believe I'm seriously contemplating doing this!

    bikerz reminds us all "Trek said she'd do it too, didn't she?"

    Yes, that she did. Thanks very much for reminding me.

    don't look at the charts
