Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Gold Rush Randonnee?

I'm just wondering if anyone here is going to the Gold Rush Randonnee in California in mid-July.

A friend/riding partner/mentor of mine is, but I'm passing. I am seriously considering the Last Chance in September, though.

Good luck! That terrain is gorgeous. You'll have amazing views of Lassen and Shasta.

I hope it goes well. I'm not sure I feel ready for it, but we'll see how it goes when I get there.


I am signed up for both the UMCA 24hour and the Last Chance too ... so those should wrap the season up nicely.

Not this year, but early next year I plan to complete a brevet series and then possibly think about Gold Rush. Do you plan to do P-B-P in 2007? I just decided this week that I want to try and do it.
