Amused at your characterization of Santa Rosa Rd. as a "good road" -- for scenery, lack of traffic, and pastoral setting, yes; for road surface, definitely not. |

If you LIKE bad pavement then Santa Rosa Road is for you!!! They've repaved Foxen in recent years, here and there, so much better...better than SRR, anyway. It's entirely up to the locals to ante up for road improvements out there, from what I've been told. Obviously, most don't GAS.

It's true that their events typically lack fanfare and are on the smaller scales, so I can see how they would fail to meet expectations for a famous event like the Solvang Century. |

Planet Ultra has a very poor reputation among the double century crowd, so much so that I have not done a single one among my 50 or so doubles.
It turns out I was on some of the same roads last Saturday, doing a 300k brevet. My ride went from Morro Bay to Buelton via Foxen Canyon, then turned north into the gathering wind and back to Lompoc, SLO and Morro Bay, some 90 miles of headwind in the afternoon. Apart from a couple PU signs and occasional small groups of cyclists, it was hard to tell a cycling event was going on. |

50 DOUBLES! DEWWWWWD! That's over-the-top impressive! Heck, after a Century, I'm ready to throw my bike in the dumpster!

I paid the fee, grabbed a few cups of orange pretzels and got my water bottles filled, but as far as organized centuries go... that was a stinker. |

SOLVANG CENTURY is back!
I’ve been noticing posts from this account (that is, the one you responded to), all of which are nonsense like this, and assume that as soon as I see post #30 there will be real posts … in the classifieds |

He will still need the requisite days.
And then he might get a “reset” BK
