Looks like fun. Bad time of year as school will just be starting and I don't want to have to travel. Were you one of the first 100 entrants so as to get guaranteed entry into next year's death ride??

First Century...
To disable ads, please log-in.
I don't know the last time I rode a century. Maybe it was December of 2008, and it's been even longer for Thom.
We'll be riding this in August. I guess I need to throw in some climbing while I'm training for my HIM.

Don't know - probably not as the confirming email didn't say so. Bummer, would have been nice to have your company. I have a half day that Friday so the timing is relatively good for us.

Is that the High Sierra Century out by Mono Lake? It says they have repaved 120. I hope so for your sake - that was miserable on the Eastern Sierra Double, absolutely gorgeous ride though.

Are you doing the full century? I was pondering doing one of the shorter routes as a training ride (probably the 48) since it's close to us ...

We're planning on the full century. We'll see how much hill training we get in between now and August.

Thom of course.
It was his idea actually. And he signed us up and already booked a condo for the weekend.
Seriously, I haven't ridden that far or with that much climbing in a long time. But it's good to have something like that out there, makes you work harder.

Oh, duh.... For some reason I had it in my head that he was running more than riding! It'll be a great adventure for you two! Originally Posted by Veronica

Are you doing Tam too? it is this year's third stage race I think.
