Is anyone doing the Foothill Century?

Is anyone doing the Foothill Century out of Sunnyvale? Here's the link: http://www.sphds.org/foothillcentury/main.htm

Hubby and I are attempting the 100k (theoretically). We'll have to see how bad it is, though, I think this ride will be a bit easier than the last. *crosses fingers*

Looks like a very nice route - it overlaps a lot with my favorite Tour de Woodside routes. I already have plans for that day, otherwise I'd join you (sorry).

The route passes my place on Page Mill Road where I grew up! Them thar hills I used to do on my 10 speed road bike back in the days when there weren't any freeways and lots of places with horses and barns. Dates me, huh?

It's tempting!

Dates me, huh?

Bah. You're only as old as you feel. It's why I'm 298.

Melody,

Thanks for posting this! I haven't been riding much since last summer (various things have been more of a priority than riding) -- I think I have a whole 50 miles under my belt since last summer.

Now that things have settled down for me and the weather is getting a little nicer, I'm thinking that the 25 mile route may be the perfect 2005 Come Back Ride for me.

Good luck on the 100km route! Maybe I'll see you & your husband at the BBQ after the ride.

PS Nancy, we probably passed each other on Page Mill Road back in the day. I used to board my horse at a couple of those barns. Excellent ride up to the top of the hill -- you could see for miles! Also, fun to trail ride from the barn, up Arastradero, to Rosotti's AKA Alpine Inn. Great memories...

Woo-hoo melissa, welcome back !!
