If memory serves me correctly, it will be a 50 - 55 mile ride.

You can meet me at my house and we can go together, if you like.
Awesome! That would be fun if it works out!

The rides I'm looking at are the 2/11, maybe the 2/18 (iffy since I'll need to be gearing up -- no pun intended -- for racing the next weekend), and the 3/18. Is the 2/11 ride in Walnut Creek the one you're referring to? It's 40 hilly miles and that looks pretty attractive to me, and the mileage and rolling terrain (is the 65mi option the Cinderella route?) is what I like about the 3/18 ride. I've been training in the hills of Mariposa lately and I need to keep the challenges going. I'm seeing lots of improvement in my hill climbing as a result.
