I plan to ride the Amtrack as well as Cool Breeze this year... trying for the century a month club, lord help me! LOL

for Amtrack I will drive over to the station, load my bike, ride up on the train and then ride back to SD... if anyone comes in for it, let me know... I have 2 guest rooms... one with a queen bed (2 of you could share it if you're good enough friends!) and a single bed in the other room... would save ya $$$ on the hotel thing... and the house is alarmed so the bikes are safe... LOL!

I've heard it's a good ride... I ride a part of it regularly since I always ride the coast in the summer once it gets hot inland where I live! Feb is Tour de Palm Springs... should be fun too...

Jan 14 I rode the Stagecoach Century... OMG... it was BRUTAL! 20-30mph head and cross winds for the entire 50 mile 5000ft climb to lunch... 8-9mph was the speed for the stretch out... once we hit 12mph and felt like we were flying!
