High Sierra Fall Century?

[RolliePollie]

Thanks for the info, Veronica. I hope it's not the same descent...sounds painful. I am hoping to have a new bike by September and I'd hate to torture the poor thing with expansion joints. I guess they don't think about cyclists when they build mountain roads

I just decided to do this ride with my sister. she's never done a century. We'll see.

Anyway I will look into the route more and see if that road is the same. You'll get some idea of the terrain by going here, which has my ESDC photos (including those expansion joints ) :

I've never done a century either...but this ride looks so beautiful! Thanks for the link to ESDC thread...great info and great pictures! Those expansion joints look like torture.

I think I'm going to wait to register and see how things go over the next couple of weeks. I really don't want to ride a century on my current bike so part of my decision will hinge on whether or not I'll have my new bike by then. I'm also fighting a sore ankle/foot issue that's been haunting me since I had tendonitis last winter. But hopefully everything will fall into place and I'll be ready to do this ride.
