> 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!
