Sierra Century June 7th... Anyone?
The mighty Sierra Century is next Saturday in beautiful Murphy's CA. Bring your camelbaks for 12,000 feet of vertical heaven over 100 hellish miles of terrain in the land of Ma and Pa Kettle.
I'll be there with or without bells on... Haven't decided. Riding it with my distance running best friend who ain't much of a cyclist so this should be at the least... INTERESTIN'!!!

I'm doing it again this year. Its a good ride and pretty challenging. I'll be doing the death ride so it'll be good to get in 12,000 feet of climbing.

I wanted to do it this year again but decided to save some gas and opted for the Sequoia Century.

Still haven't made my mind up if I'm doing this or not. The roads are soooo horrible. That's prolly the reason they have only a third of the turnout they had last year. On the other hand, it's hill climbing and it's practically in my backyard...

This calls for a road forum shout-out... HTFU! 
Thanks for the intervention.

OK - I'm going to be there! Doing the 50, though. And I have a feeling this will be one of the last centuries I do outside of Los Angeles without taking along a friend - it's economically difficult and a waste of resources to justify driving hundreds of miles for a half or one day ride (I'll make an exception for my favorite supported ride, the Chico Wildflower Century) by myself. But then, when I signed up, gas wasn't $4.50 a gallon that it is now in L.A.
Next long ride out of town, I either have to carpool with a few friends or ride to the start.
See you tomorrow....
