San Diego has a 200K Brevet next week. Got to check my daughters game schedule, but I'm thinking I'll do this one.

The 200K Brevet they held last January was a great route taking in Lake Hodges, Couser Canyon, Rice Valley and PCH. Anyone know if they're doing that route again in '08?

Mike's changing it up a little bit. It will probably be similar, but he wants to drop Reche Road as there have been too many bike/car incidents. I'm sure he'll take suggestions on improving the route. I think they need to loose all the climbs and just make it descents. :)

Agreed. Reche Road has bad juju. Would East Mission to East Live Oak Pard Rd be better? I've never tried that.
Not sure, write it up and give it to him Saturday Morning, you are going right?

It's a timed event, self supported. I'm guessing a time station at the far end and one at the start/finish. You get credit for it and your name listed somewhere, plus a medal if you opt for it. :)
