This was a fun ride last year. A bit pricey at $100, but it includes a jersey (which was as nice as any other ride jersey I've purchased) and a few other goody bag items. The support was good last year, food was good for a 70 mile ride. Only downside was they ran out of water at the rest stop in Camp Pendleton on the second loop. They were getting more, but it meant either waiting or going without re-filling (It was 55 miles into a 70 mile route and I had already re-filled, so it wasn't a huge deal for me).
But they had "unofficial" water stops along the way, too, where volunteers were handing out bottles along the course.
The chip timing up the hill is a cool feature to measure yourself against other riders. You get to go through a section of Camp Pendleton that's not on the regular bike route.
Don't know if I'll make this one - there are a couple of other rides already on that date, but I might, just to see if I can beat my time up that hill.
