Yeah, a 100-mile training ride for a 100-mile main event.
UPDATE: I just did a Google search looking for a comparison of May temps for Hemet CA and Palm Springs CA. See
https://www.weather-us.com/en/califo.../hemet-climate and
https://www.weather-us.com/en/califo...prings-climate. It appears to me that Hemet does not jump in temp in May the way that Palm Springs does. And a look at the temps for May (and similarly in April) in Hemet look very nice to me with regard to an all-day bike ride. Perris and Hemet are tucked away in a neat little valley, thus not subject to the dessert heat, but not getting the benefits of an ocean breeze. I have yet to find a nicer place for a relatively flat ride in the southwestern US. The last route I created for you (the out-and-back one) is about the same degree of difficulty of my fun imperial metric rides here back in NJ/PA. See
https://ridewithgps.com/routes/21533645 which is the first perm route I created for RUSA.
