Nice Joel, I'm not too far from Rancho, just on the upper end of La Riviera...maybe I'll see you out there! Dwight, check out the Tour de Cure in Napa. It's pretty flat and really isn't that expensive if you get some friends to sponsor you, and its for a good cause. The Wildflower is a nice fairly flat century and is coming up in about a month. The last 40 flat windy miles are a bummer though...
