I'm training to race the Climb to Kaiser later this month, and I've been ramping up the mileage significantly. The Climb to Kaiser is 155 miles and ~13.5k ft of climbing. First half is basically all up, second half basically all down. For my training, I've been doing 100-120 mile training rides, and I am planning a very long ride this Sunday as my final training ride or the event.

I had been planning to do a ~150 miler from Santa Monica, riding through the Santa Monicas to Ojai and back. However, my friend asked me if I wanted to ride up 33 from Ojai. I said sure, so we're going to drive out there on Sunday morning. However, the route he wants to do is only about 75 miles (Ojai to Lockwood Valley road and back) so I decided I'm going to do his ride (Lockwood Valley road and back), but then ride from Ojai back to Santa Monica via Balcom Canyon and Portero. I would like to think I'll end on Stunt, but there is no way I'll be in the mood.

Route is below...it's gonna be brutal!
