Holstein 100 v.2006

[cindysue]

YooHoo CindySue, what was the ride like last year?

this was my FAVORITE century! (granted I've only done Holstein, Chico, Tierra Bella).

I loved it because:

1) landscape

2) little traffic (but also a far drive to get to start)

3) flora and fauna (e.g., holsteins, brown cows, etc.)

4) friendly riders -- I was coached up a very steep hill by a really great guy and his friends who took pitty on me and my compact double (really missed my triple w/34 in the back). These guys rode with me the whole rest of the way - we even took a picture together at one of the picture points.

5) friendly folks at reststops (the seniors)

6) food at end. Yum!

it was pretty foggy and cool in the morning (I couldn't see the cows but I could smell them ) but overall a fabulous day!

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!

P.S. It's one of the more expensive centurys but well worth it. And the jersey is my favorite! (see pic below)
