Veronica, we overlap on some of our rides, but not a ton. These are all definites for me as I have registered and/or told DH I am doing them (so he's on kid patrol):

3/25 Solvang double century

4/29 DMD (as I have said over and over "I am starting this ride...")

5/6 Wine country double metric (with DH)

5/20 Davis double century (with DH)

6/3 Eastern Sierra double century

6/17 - 18 Death ride altitude camp (with DH)

7/8 Death Ride (with DH)

8/5 Mt. Tam Double (same day as Marin century). After swearing I wouldn't do this ride again! I want vengeance on it!! I finished (before dark, too), but I want to do it again and feel better doing it this year!

9/16 Knoxville double century

10/7 - 9 Furnace creek 508 (2 woman team.)

11/20 El Tour de Tucson (probably. I usually race this every year and last year I coached it instead and crashed out and got my first ever in my life DNF. So I have a little chip on my shoulder about this race!! ) 'Course I may be tired by then and need a break. We'll see how the 508 goes, I guess.

I will miss Holstein becuase we're camping in Yosemite. I loved Holstein last year. It is a great ride, and I encourage you all to do it! They've got a lot of mileage options.

I can't do those other stage race doubles because of commitments I have made for coaching Death Ride. Plus I am not yet crazy enough to want to do the TT! My friend Karen did the stage race last year (she's probably doing it again this year), and she had a blast! I think that's a great challenge. Maybe next year. I think I have enough on my plate right now!!
