On Saturday I met Curtis and crew for a little re-con at Skyline before the SSWC. I've ridden and raced up there before but I guess my memory ain't so good because the ride was a bit of an eye-opener. Hot, dusty, steep, lotsa rocks, but really fun. Just like a mountain bike race should be.
Ever the gracious host, Jeff Hantman provided us with some sort of Chinese pastry/cake deal that conveniently did not have a nutrition label attached. All we know is one of the ingredients was "green".
Speaking of being good hosts, the locals (not us or Curtis or anyone you know) out here want the out-of-towners to have a good time in the days leading up to the race so here's the itinerary:
- Wed night Dirt Crits at Howarth Park in Santa Rosa at 6pm. Races and BBQ.
- Thursday meet at the Java Hut in Fairfax at 10am and ride the Pine Mountain loop.
- Friday meet at the Lawndale parking lot at Annadel in Santa Rosa for a 10am ride. Then meet at American Cyclery in San Francisco between 4pm and 5pm for a ride through SF and across the Golden Gate Bridge for a BBQ the Marin headlands. This will be a mellow cruise.
