The 2008 Triple Crown

I am hereby announcing my candidacy for the 2008 California Triple Crown – 3 or more double centuries in 2008!

At the moment, my targets are:

Solvang Spring Double – 6800′ of climbing, end of March

Hemet Double Century – 5,800′ of climbing, mid-April

Davis Double Century – 8,400′ of climbing, mid-May

Grand Tour – 5,400′ of climbing, mid to late June

Subject to change to accommodate the other events I intend to do next year:

The Cinderella Century – April 5, 2008

AIDS Lifecycle 7 –  June 1-7, 2008

The Markleeville Death Ride (?) –  mid-July, 2008

I intend to take 2-3 months “off” (or at least with less riding) and then start training again seriously in October.

See you there!
