In the grand scheme of things, this is just a minor personal victory. Been trying to ride my little Godde Hill Loop in under an hour. It's only 15.2 miles long, but includes a single Cat 3 climb, (just barely a 3, according to the ToC climb classifications), about 1/3 way into ride. Been coming close and determined my final time would be a function of the direction and velocity of the wind and how I hit the signals. This time, minimal wind and better than normal luck with the signals.

For others wanting to do this little ride, leaving from Marie Kerr Park would be a good starting/finishing place. Either leave you car in the park parking lot or across the street in the Vons/strip mall parking lot. Going straight down Rancho Vista Blvd instead of by the golf course knocks a mile or so off the route, so under an hour would be fairly easy for most everyone.
