something to plan for

there's a tour de palm springs. that's my old hood. i'm seriously considering riding the solvang (half?) century, so if i can do TDPS, solvang, and something up here, i'll have (half?) centuried all the places i've ever lived.

wow, i was just gonna mention TDPS but now, in writing this post, i've come up with a thrice-more ambitious plan!

the TDPS mentions that the 100 mile route has rolling hills but nothing steep, which is what i'd expect. well, i'd expect it to either have no hills or be kill-yourself steep, and since it's got a modest name like TDPS and not "kill yourself ride up to the top of mt. san jacinto", i suspected the former.

it's in feb so it won't be 120 out, only 90 or 100. i should shoot for the century, shouldn't i?

yes, and i should do it while not worrying about punctures, heh.
