Thanks

I had a good training ride on Saturday:

Though it was not quite a century, the climbing made up for it. I finished the ride with the woman who is actually organizing the Joshua Tree Century, so she gave me some good advice while we were climbing up East Fork / Little GMR.
I ended up doing more climbing in 89.5 miles than I'll have to do one the double. Just have to remember to eat and drink, plus not get lost since this is a new double for me.
May see you at Spring Solvang and Hemet, but on the Grand Tour I always ride the Highland. Less traffic, less wind, much better scenery. You should at least consider it and ask other Bull Shifters for more opinions.
