...and it's only 1 week after the Heartbreak Hundred! I've really been having second thoughts.

I was talking with a rider (and friend) on Sunday, and I may go up and ride 100 that weekend in lieu of the double. Haven't 100% decided yet, but apparently there will be other riders up there seeking just 100 miles in that gorgeous scenery. That may do for me as well.

Let me know -- I only want to do 100 okay maybe 105 but that's it

merider1

Hey, if you're serious woman, I am...

spingineer

I didn't know there was a 100 mile option. Now just see if I want to drive there ...

nygirl777

Okay M.E but I will be watching the odometer......... not that I don't trust you or anything

merider1

You're funny, Nygirl... But I'm miled out at present and 100 up there sounds delish to me. Ron, there isn't an option I don't think. It would be a group doing their own unorganized 100. I love the beauty there and have never had an opportunity to ride those roads, but I'm just not in the mood to do another double at present, so toying with the idea of 100 is appealing. Plus, I could still be there to greet the double riders as they cross the finish line. Win-win...

spingineer

Ah, ok. At this point, the only I'm going to do this is if someone persuades me to ... I don't know if I'll be able to do Davis and Eastern Sierra, separated by two weeks.

Okay, well let me talk to my "friend" (Bob...oops, that slipped) and I'll let you know if it materializes. In the meantime, since this is the DOUBLE thread, I'll get the heck out. I'll start a new thread if there is a true contingent planning a 100 miler the same day.

I'm always down for a win-win type of situation. I was going to Tahoe that weekend but there is NO guarantee I will be able to secure a registration and they are very strict I hear............soooooooooo I'm in for this.......I only made it up to Mammoth once this winter to snowboard and I miss it...

Does anyone have a route slip for this ride?

scvroadie

Are you looking for the route slip for the Eastern Sierra double or the Heartbreak 100?

scvroadie

M.E.,

The Heartbreak 100 starts at the truck stop at Lebec which is about 50 miles into the Double Century, then they follow the same route, the finish for the 100 is the last checkpoint for the 200. If a group was to do an unorganized ride, I would recommend a SAG person, there is very little in the way of stores or places to eat. I riding a shortened version this weekend with some friends, and the one person who lives up there is hiding ice chest with water at two points so that we will have sufficient hydration.

nevermind, I was reading VanceMacs comments about the Heartbreak 100 and assumed thats what you were all talking about.

If you go to this link: https://75.126.135.187/information.ph...dfa1d99f09fc23

This is a copy of the map used for the Fall High Sierra century. The route basically starts @ Mammoth, instead of Bishop. You don't have to climb Sherwin Grade.

Eastern Sierra

spingineer

hmmm .... that's an idea. Drive my Prius around, SAG for everyone. Or, ME can SAG and just take tons of pics showing the pain on everyone's face as they are doing the climb!

scvroadie

Don't have that one, if you follow the link above, you have the route for Eastern Sierra Fall century. A lot of the route is the same as the double.

tprevost

you can always come ride the ride I'm doing that weekend ... I'm not doing the 100 mile option, but it's 100 miles and 12k gain

nygirl777

What ride is that Missy??

vertical bob

I would be intersted whats the route?

Scootcore

merider1

Tiffanie

I'll chime in for Trac'.... it's the Sierra Century. I'm hoping to make it too!

merider1
