First off let me apologize; seems I sent the wrong link for Day 5 in my last e-mail, here is the correct one:
http://www.mapmyride.com/ride/united-states/ca/santa-rosa/885123903575450514
The differences are very slight and basically involve a section near Petaluma changed to avoid traffic, and the drop down into Mill Valley as we come off the ridge…before regrouping at Peets Coffee. The mistake was brought to my attention by a number of the NorCal based riders, who seem to be studying these maps with great attention – no doubt looking for the perfect attack spots each day. I’m sure they are busy riding the different routes frequently in an ill-fated attempt to disrupt the power from the south. Battle on!!
Also; by tradition - one of the final group training rides for those able to make it, is the Alpine Challenge in the hills of east San Diego County, this year being held on April 25th: more info @ http://alpinechallenge.com/ - feel free to join in the fun, it’s a great warm up before our true adventure.
And lastly for today: we have a new e-mail account: TOPtrainofpain@gmail.com This will allow both Kevin and I to send news, updates and useless bits of info – so please add to your safe list…all future e-mails from us should come from this address.
TRAIN OF PAIN :: Rapidly aging has-beens (and some wanna-bes) clinging to their glory days and testing the very limits of Lycra with a tour through the climbs & descents of California's Coast from San Francisco to San Diego in May of 2015.
