Two Challenging Routes for 2010: The Century Challenge:
From the redwoods to the ocean, come ride some of the most
scenic and challenging roads in California while gaining over 11,000' in elevation. Will still warm up with a
Cat 2 climb on the famous Mt. Charley Road and then really get the heart rate elevated climbing China Grade and
Jamison Creek. Descending down to the coast on Bonny Doon Rd, around the Swanton Loop, and to Greyhound Rock for a stop.
Then a section from the Tour of CA route as riders head back up Bonny Doon Rd.
The route continues down Empire Grade, with photo ops on West Cliff Drive that highlight Santa Cruz's sparkling beaches,
and through Santa Cruz to the start in Scotts Valley.

The Metric Century Challenge: While not quite as strenuous as the century ride,
the 65 mile route is by no means a wimpy ride. The course will cover some of the same roads as the full century.
With 6,500' in elevation, this route is clearly a challenge for the most experienced riders. Sharp switchbacks
on steep descents will require alert technical riding.

The Bailout Options:
There are lots of reasons cyclists may not finish a difficult century like the SCMC. Pick your excuse, uh, reason for taking the 'bailout'
route home.

Jamison Creek TT Results revised 8/4/09 have been posted. As you can see, there remain some issues. Not only was it a tough climb, the results posted 7/28/09 remain tough to wade through and are still not quite done. I've done some work and will post what I have but keep in mind: these results are still a work in progress and I will be changing things. If I don't have your name/number/time, it *might* be coming in an updated posting but until I'm done with the results, please hold off on your comments or "helpful suggestions." The riders' speed at the start pushed our staff to their limits to try and write down all rider numbers. Consequently, there are several riders missing start times. Combined with dozens of riders shouting out their numbers while staff were writing down other numbers, confusion reigned supreme. This will result in several riders not receiving times, including those riders vying for top times. I'm still applying the fine-toothed comb to the results but it may be some time before everything is ready to post. Keep checking back! Thank you, David Gill, Race Team Director
