I am shooting for the 100 mile, 10,000 foot route. I KNOW I can do the 60 miles with 4,000, and I am not at all sure that I will be able to pull off the 100 mile route. But, my goal is to climb more than ever in one day in an organized ride, to learn a lot about myself, and to enjoy the sunshine and beauty. And, with the right training and luck, I am going to try as hard as I can to do the whole 10,000 foot option.
I bought Arnie Baker's ACE climbing book online.
