    I'm thinking about doing the 40 miler, but the course hasn't been posted yet. The century looks tough!

    I wonder what the 40 mile route will be. The 100 mile goes right by my house...almost.

    Why did they have to put it the same day as Death Ride? That's lame.

    I think they like to make "challenge" the operative word! My sister, b-i-l and I did the Philly ride last year and man it was hilly. My bil finished the century and said - "that was so not fun". My sister and I did the 40 which was actually 44 miles. Lance did that ride as well. It was a challenge, but so worth doing. I'm anxious to get training for this year (pending rehab for a shoulder issue), I'm hoping to do the 60 mile in Philly. I was actually toying with asking my bil if he wanted to go out with me and volunteer at the California one!

    If it is hilly, it would be a good excuse for me to do some hill-training. I never really have.

    Hmmm. The Portland 40 mile course looks relatively flat...maybe San Jose's will be too...she said in a small hopeful voice...
