I rode the Hemet Double too; started at 4:00AM in the cold dark fog, finished at 7:15PM, just barely in the daylight. Overall a great ride, excellent route, not too much traffic I really enjoyed Sage since it is a scenic climb.

Rode about 150 miles of the double with the Very Famous Isabelle Drake (of RAAM, Furnace Creek 508, PBP, Race Across Oregon, etc. fame) so that was quite the challenge since she is so fast on the flat roads and a rocket on the descents. There were times I really had to work to stay on her wheel!

Overall, a very good time, and great weather once the sun came up and fog cleared. Never did get too hot and both the lunch and the after ride dinner were totally excellent. Great job by the Hemet Double support folks, SAG drivers and volunteers!
