Looks like a lot more reasonable price than the Hincapie gran fondo. As to the route, the initial climb up lookout mtn at 5 mile into
century is a bit of a challenge. The descent at mile point 28-31 is a wide sweeping road you can let the bike run on, if traffic is ok,
a really nice descent. The route through mtn ranch cove is really nice, sort of Cades Covish, but the climb out at the end is a bear.
On the tandem it was a 3.5mph slog. This is at mile 48 on the map. Overall the roads are good otherwise, occasionally trafficy, ie around
Cloudland Canyon SP and a few other places, but it is a good route. You will like it.
