I figured, I'll be there too!
My first time, I've read around about it for sure, and so many people say "Ride Diablo 3 times", as if everyone riding it lives in the bay area!
I live at 6200' in Idaho so altitude won't have much affect on me on ride day, but I am in NYC right now though, so I'll only have 9-10 days to acclimate to higher altitude, but that will be a big help.
Are you riding it on a C&V bike?
Have you ridden it before?
