Agreed!!

We ride in the Dry Creek area a lot. I have to ask - have you ridden Skaggs Springs/Stewarts Point Road from Lake Sonoma to the coast?? We are doing it for more of the Death Ride training, and I know it is part of the TT course. I would love to talk to someone who's ridden it as when we drove it, it seems laughably difficult - that wall at the end. I remember reading in one of Felix Wong's ride reports on the TT that he walked it, which was a bit sobering. Well, I don't event hink the back side of Ebbets will be as hard as that so our team will be well trained. Assuming they survive!
