HotRod? You mean Thom will have competition for Veronica's calf-oggling?

Yep, Thom's got a pretty fine set of calves. Trouble is, as "coach" he tends to ride behind me.

I did this ride last year. It's one of my favorites. If I weren't doing the Death Valley ride the weekend before, I'd be there for sure!!!!!!
Yes, get your application in soon.
Re the course- a few rollers and one quick climb towards the end. Not anything tough even if you haven't been training a lot this year.
Great support and fun pacelines!

Etiquette and Protocol
Speaking of calves, and sorry to go OT, here, but when CindySue and I were riding last year, we got passed by a guy with epic calves. We didn't exchange any pleasantries because he was passing us like we were standing still (Cindy was being nice and going my pace), but I wonder if it's considered offensive to compliment someone on their calves. I was tempted to tell him they were really nice, but by the time the thought had fully congealed in my brain, he was out of earshot.

Oh, yes, calves!
I never realized how nice my husband looked from behind until I rode with him! Now he always has to ride in front - it helps me get up the hills to have a nice set of calves and butt to chase. You know, the whole "think happy thoughts" method of climbing.
Sorry, I had to reply - it's a new revelation.
