OC Roadie, that's almost exactly what I've got planned for Saturday, though hills are scarce and I think I will have a hard time racking up the 9000'--should be able to swing at least 5000' though.
Heck, maybe I *am* crazy. Now that I think about it, I choose my first crit partly because it was a notorioulsy difficult course, and I entered it with the express goal of self distructing in as painful and spectacular a way as posible (it would at least make a heck of a story, right?). Didn't turn out to be that destructive or painful, but this century very well might make up for that!
<ugh>
