I'll be signing up for Cool Breeze again. I felt great when I finished the Century last year. My wife and 11 year old (well, guess she was 10 then) were waiting with my in-laws at the end with a hand lettered sign for me! Then I ate like crazy! It's a fun ride. Have to remember to sign up early 'cause they do sell that one out.

hello
Hmm.....looking at the route profiles, I think I'm going to sign up for the relatively flat century ride.....it's perfect for my fixed gear bike.

Warning! They had a huge lunch spread mid-way through...lots of food and tables and I had to struggle to avoid chowing down and taking a nap! There I was working my Sustained Energy drink for hours and suddenly faced with a buffet! I passed on most of it but made up at the excellent meal they provided at the finish!

So you see more coast on the Grand Tour? I'm leaning against doing Grand Tour since I'm turning 27--not 124!!--that day. But if it's such a great ride, maybe I'll do it.

Hi,
Cool Breeze has become a fixture on my calendar. I've done it the last 5 or 6 years in a row. About thirty of my clubmates show up and we typically have a group of 10-15 that stay together throughout the ride. It's flat enough that yuou can ride it fairly fast but I always opt for the group that's riding a moderate pace.
