SUMMARY

Here is the down and dirty if you don't want to read the extended race report. I trained really hard
for this race with the primary goal to improve my time and secondary goal of placing higher than I
did last year. I also was realistic about the event and wanted to use it as a training event for the
Furnace Creek 508 race just two weeks later. Well I was 1 hour and 6 minutes faster than
last year but moved from 30th to 38th in the 4/5 Cat. I felt so much better during the race this
year as evident by being able to eat at the top on each of the final days climb.

What follows is a description of each of the six climbs and a graph detailing each climb. I hope
more and more people find out, and do this great ride in some of greatest climbing California has to
offer.

I can't wait to do this again next year!!
