> The route is challenging. ridewithgps claims 19,000 feet, but both
> my GPS and Vinnie's GPS registered just 16,000 (on two different pre-
> ride days.) Nonetheless, the route is very doable by the average
> randonneur. All the pre-riders finished between 24:32 and 25:11.
> Key to being successful at this event will be building up a time
> buffer in the first half of the route (outbound to Maupin with ~7500
> feet) to keep yourself on track for the return trip (~8,500feet).
> Keep some energy in reserve for miles 205-230 which present some of
> the most challenging grades of the route.
>
> Because this is a new route, the pre-ride was critical. A huge
> shoutout to the volunteers who pre-rode (Vinnie, Theo, Lesli,
> Michal, Kevin & David) and provided us with detailed pre-ride notes,
> feedback and suggestions. The route is all the better because of
> their hard work. When you see them on Saturday and/or Sunday (you
> never know where their smiling faces might appear!) be sure to thank
> them.
>
> And biggest thanks of all to my intreprid co-organizer Lynne. She
> is a saint.

> The whole crew is looking forward to seeing you on Saturday!
