    I have only ridden MT once when Kim and V forced me to ride in brutally hot weather. V's comparison to Diablo is very apt. The descent is fabulous because of all she says and you can go the same speed as cars, which always make me feel better because I can hang out in the lane.

    PS - It wasn't Kim and V's fault that that day was the first hot weather of the season. I always have one bad day when the warm weather comes. It can be a bit airless on the way up MT, but it is shady.

    My FC 508 partner had the following to say about Morgan:
    "Morgan Territory is in terrible shape but not a hard climb -- in fact, it is probably the easiest all day and shaded. I wouldn't even give it a second thought. "

    So between her and you two, I am feeling happier about skipping it altogether. It's always good to leave something a mystery for actual event day!

    Probably on 4/2 I will do a Hamilton/Sierra loop - may try to add something else in to get the mileage up to 125 - maybe Patterson or something. I hope one of you can join me!!

    The Coach thinks a ride on 4/2 is a marvelous idea. He's been a bit concerned about my plans to just do Hamilton/Sierra by myself. I suppose Hamiliton is a bit remote. So, we just need to decide on a route.

    Sounds good. Let's talk more at Solvang. MY FC 508 partner (who's now wavering on many things, including DMD and 508... but that's another story!) may also join us for the 4/2 ride. I agree - I would NOT want to ride Mines Rd. by myself.
