Bit of a bump.
I'm new to this forum, but thought I'd pipe up and say my wife and I are planning on doing the 100k on the Sequoia. It's our first organized ride and we're not up to century-level, but I'm really looking forward to it.

I've been thinking about doing this ride, the elevation gains look brutal, with no flats to cool down on. Is that true or am I just misreading the elevation maps.

Well, not to many *flats* but usually the descents are enough to cool down on. But yeah, there's a fair amount of climbing. It looks like less this year than previous years.

I'm in on Sequoia, although only doing the 100k in order to hang with some of my less masochistic friends...my concession to get them ready for the Santa Cruz Mountain Challenge in August.

I'm most likely in for the 112 mile ride. Won't be sure 'till later.

I think I'll be signing up for the 112-mile. Edit - Just signed up for the 100k. West Alpine was beautiful last weekend. Hopefully, this cooler weather stays through Sunday.

OK. I just signed up for the 112 miler!
So far the weather is looking good for the ride.
