Oh well, after I do the split from the 100 to go on the metric I will wait at that turning point and wave at you. But please don't be too long I have somewhere to be that day!

My wife is interested in doing the metric, so i'll be riding that with her and possibly with a buddy of mine who has been riding too much lately.

The HHH is not really difficult. It was my first organized ride. I also did the metric. There is one good climb about 2 miles and 1000', but the rest is rollers. The downhills are a little tricky.
I will be there doing the metric again this year. I am shooting for a sub 4 hour time. I would like to find a drafting partner.
