This is a really fun series. I missed a lot of it last year but hope to change that this year. It's a great training tool. Last year in July I rode to it for my warm up; it's only 15 miles from my front door to the start line.
We were the only tandem to participate in '08, or so we were told.
Thanks for posting this, Joe. Hope to see some of you NorCal'ers out there.
