Tofu -

I'm signed up to ride the 100 miles in San Jose. Which one are you riding?

I chose the 100, but I'm reconsidering. Won't it be hot as hades in July? I just moved back from the south, and am thinking about the scortching dryness of ca summers!

But it's a dry heat... Last year was pretty hot, but we were okay until we got to the Silverado Country Club which was open and the sun baked down - but once we were over that hill, it was fine. The 100 miler went up over Metcalf which is a brutal hill in the best of conditions and I did hear it was pretty tough. I hope the ride more of the Santa Cruz mountains this year - it's more shaded and there are some great rides. We'll see.

Mountian...haven't ridden mountains yet. Just lowly coastal carolina. Guess I'd better get training!

Lori - if you live in the Bay Area now, you'll not be able to avoid the hills. But the ride only had one tough hill, the rest was pretty easy. I'm all for putting together a TE Team. I think that would be fun.

I'm in! Where are you located? I'm in Martinez

[andtckrtoo]

I'm further south in San Jose. There are tons of rides between, too. And there are a lot of riders in the Bay Area. I think we could managed a ride or two before hand.
