I have only ever done the 40 mile route - it is my understanding (assumption) that the 100k doesn't have many (significant) hills. You guys planning to start w/ the 100k route? I may switch to what you guys are riding so I don't have to ride alone - unless I can convince you to ride the 100k w/ me.

The longest Leonard Hill is the only one I've ever had to walk, and I was on my lightest bike - the Carbent. Want to see if I can conquer it this time.

If it is the same route I took two years ago, it is a fast and fairly flat course.

Rode the infamous Leonard Hills in a SAG truck. Smiley

Note to self: "Don't spend the whole day on a leg-stressing home maintenance project the day before a 54-mile, hilly, into-a-head-wind pay ride on chip-seal roads."
