I just found out about this Tugaloo tour. I might sign up for it. Have you done it before? This year I've done GA400 Metric and the BBC Metric (Century Cut short by bad weather). I did the BBC Century Solo about a month back but this might be my chance at a second century this year.

I usually ride out of the brewery and do 50 - 80 miles on sundays. I know there is a little bit of climbing after mile 60 +/- towards the 100 mile route but the Gaps are hard to beat.
PS. Out of the three I've done this year 6/3gap blows everything out of the water. Followed by GA400 then BBC. I think BBC was ruined due to weather. It could have been great.
