Coeur d'Fondo 2014
Anyone doing this ride this year? I know it is a week away, but I'm still on the fence. I was going to do it with some friends, but they bagged on it. I'm not sure I'll ride it alone.

Which one might you do? I did the long one two years ago and it was a hard ride. My buddy crashed 27 miles into it, after he was hauled away in an ambulance I finished on my own seeing very few other riders. Beautiful route though.

I was thinking of doing the 84. I'd like to do the 47 with the boat ride, but I'd rather do the boat ride in the afternoon.

The Medio Fondo is still a great route. Has plenty of climbing and a fast 10 mile stretch of the Trail of the CdA's. When I did it it was well supported and had a great selection of snacks at each stop. Someday I'd like to do it again but it interferes with my CX racing. Do it and then post a ride report. I think you will enjoy it if you are up to the amount of hills.
