Hi,

Just wondering if anyone who has ridden Foothill Century (http://www.sphds.org/foothillcentury/) previously and can provide some feedback on the ride? I'm considering the 100-K route, specifically. Thanks.

Jack

Sounds like half of the route is on busy roads like Edgewood and Alameda and Foothill Expressway. The other half is on popular, but not especially scenic, suburban roads like Arastradero and Portola and Canada. If you don't mind some bigger hills, the Sequoia Century 100K is a much more interesting route.

Good analysis. I didn't think to break down the routes that way. Thanks.
