V- I'll ask around for you. Too bad you couldn't do the Death Valley Double in March as it doesn't have that much elev. gain. I'll be doing the century.

Sounds like your plan is Solvang Double, DMD and one other.

Here are some comments from Homey on the BJ and another guy from Huntington Beach. Homey's also done 508 solo and is on this year's RAAM team. Don't know about the other fellow.

In reality these kinds of questions are all relative because there are so many variables that go into how people perceive the difficulty of a particular ride. The easy variables are distance and climbing but you also have to throw in weather and your condition when you do the ride and how hard you push yourself during the ride. As far as the TT and Devil Mtn Dble and C2K go I would put them all into the category of extremely hard rides.

ps. if they ran the DMD the same time of year as the TT it would be the toughest double...period! (Homey)


Terrible Two is by far the hardest one-day ride I have ever done. Next would be Devil Mountain Double... (other fellow)
