Hemet Double Century

Anyone riding the Hemet Double this Saturday? I have ridden it 3 times, the first in 2013. Met Rick@ OCRR then, and have seen him at the others as well.

I'm not going to be there this year Dwight; first time I've not been there for the double-century in a lot of years! No doubles for me this year or at least until I get this back pain issue sorted out.

Hemet is a friendly little double, pretty easy course with an excellent barbeque lunch and dinner. Not one of the big challenge doubles, but that's okay too.

sorry to hear about your back pain Rick. We rode a staff ride on Friday, then we covered sags on Saturday for the rice. I worked with Jim and Robin (and 2 others from Phoenix) at sag 3 in Petersen Park, the last one before lunch. It was windy !

Thankfully my back is a bit better. While you were sagging Hemet I was climbing in the San Gabriel mountains; Hwy 39, East Fork, Glendora Ridge Road and Glendora mountain road. Only 58 miles but it was a decent ride with 6,300 ft. of climbing. Here it is on Strava: https://www.strava.com/activities/547492129

Riding out to Tom's Farms in Corona this morning, we were passed by some folks with "Hemet DC" numbers, and when we caught up at a light (red lights, the great equalizers) I asked what they were doing. Hats off to them, it was toasty out there today. I only did about 60 miles but was glad to finish, as it was pushing 90°F out in the sunshine when I got back.

Lately we have a group of about 15 riders that does a double century from the Piedmont area of NC to a beach in SC. It’s fairly flat (guessing 3000’ of climbing) and the group stays together. If the wind cooperates it’s the best double I’ve done......

The afternoon loop starts with a climb up Sage Rd. That was pretty warm. a bit of cloud cover helped while we were riding around Lake Elsinore from Temecula, but we still had a headwind. We finished about 8:15 pm, from an 0330 am start.
