We lived up near you before moving to SoCal 5 years ago. There's a really nice ride out of Aptos in May that you should do if you haven't already; its called Strawberry Fields Forever. It has 25, metric, and full century routes. Just thought I'd throw that out there!

Good luck this weekend - glad you got a hotel; much more comfortable for sure! Be sure to let us know how the day went and BE SAFE!!!

Caligurl - I'll be looking out the window whining about the weather too Even though we need the rain; I'm ready for the heat!

Cold.... burrrrrrrrr!!!
