• Comments: This was my first century and had a great time. I trained on inland San Diego hills so I was well prepared for this ride. The only hill that really kicked my butt was the short, steep one towards the end of Foxen Canyon Rd.

• Comments: A little disappointing in the support. Our only other long ride was the Riverbank Cheese & Wine Festival 100 km, which is really nice, so maybe we should stick to that one. I don't know, but I'm real tired!

• Comments: I know the main draw for this event is the full century. Having said that, I think they short-changed those of us doing the half. A single SAG stop? Come on, that's pretty lame. At least have a water stop or two. And roving SAG support? Where was it? I never saw a single vehicle, and we passed several groups who were fixing flats, etc. Like I said, I'm sure the focus was the full century, and that's fine. I just think they could've done a little more for the half, as well.
