I agree... same with me. But again, everyone reacts to altitude differently... some people (I am lucky) acclimate quickly, some never do. Just know yourself...
Last time I did the Century we finished (and started) at the ballfield past Crowley Lake. I have to say, not certain I would want to do that climb up to the Village to end my ride. It was sucky enough doing it first thing - but early, traffic was light and the climb warmed you up - I get why they change the route but I do think it was better before.
