DH and I ended up doing it too. Neither of us was sure how far we wanted to go as we are both "broken" right now. He has a chronic back problem which has been flaring up lately and I am not back to 100% yet. We decided we would just play it by ear. Seems like there were a lot more people this year than last. The rest stop at around mile 40 had a food line longer than I have ever seen before. I am guessing those poor people were in line for at least 20 minutes. At mile 55, we both were feeling a bit sketchy, but continued on and ended up finishing the 100 miles feeling really strong. I am really glad we decided to do it and the weather even held up for us. Considering neither of us has much outdoor ride time in this year, our time was only 15 minutes slower than last year. All in all, it was a great ride. And I think Susan is right, Inglewood Hill seems steeper than 8.9%
