I'm riding the L'etape du California, which follows the course of the penultimate stage of this year's tour of California including the climb up Mt. Baldy on April 28th. There are some preview rides - I'm going to do the one on Saturday, April 7th, and would LOVE some company to share gas costs (and companionship, of course). It's about an hour and a half each way, meaning an early start and late return. Here's the route: http://www.mapmyride.com/routes/view/70617374 (http://www.mapmyride.com/routes/view/70617374) and here's more information about the ride(s): http://www.catriathlon.com/letape-du-california-course-previews.html (http://www.catriathlon.com/letape-du-california-course-previews.html). Let me know if you're interested!
See you on the road!
Bill
