Haven't decided for sure about 2007 Triple Crown.

This year I did Butterfield, Spring Solvang, Hemet, Eastern Sierra, Grand Tour, Knoxville and Tour of Two Forests doubles. Missed Davis since I was on The 3-Speed Tour in Wisconsin that weekend.

I've earned the Triple Crown Jersey for the last five years, and the 1,000 Mile Club jersey for the last four.

So I think I may be addicted. Not sure though. Doubles are a wonderful adventure, and I have met a lot of wonderful people riding Triple Crown events.

Still, doubles are time consuming, and they get expensive with the entry fee, motel, eating out, gas money, etc. My wife and I did the math on it recently and it was pretty scary. She rode Butterfield, Davis and Grand Tour in 2006, so she got the Triple Crown Jersey (again), but not the thousand mile club (which she had planned).

I had planned to try the Bass Lake Powerhouse Double (Fresno area), but after doing Knoxville and Tour of Two Forests on consecutive weekends, then heading straight into Interbike, my body said "Enough!" and I was pretty sick for over a week. So maybe next year, if the timing works out better!

Best Regs,
