2005 Tour De Poway... Anyone ??
Hello all,
I'm planning on doing the Tour de Poway this year. I just drove the course and of particular concern is the Highland Valley Road and Bandy Canyon Road. I used to drive Highland Vly alot on my souped up Miata and it was a lot of fun but it is a single lane road with no shoulder and contains a lot of blind turns for about 5 miles. I was wondering if anyone has done this century before and what was that portion of the ride like with all of the participants there ? Will this portion of the road be closed too like the Poway grade ? Also, I was wondering if anyone knows about an 8% grade along the coast in San Diego ? I kinda wanna duplicate the poway grade. Also, if anyone has entered and is looking for a partner, I'm decent on the flats and slight uphills, slow uphill and medium on decents - just do not like going downhill very fast on roads I do not know very well, unless it's a car. Thanks, Ian in SD |

Did it last year and will be doing it again this year. Fun ride. Long ride.
Haven't done the century ride. Probably will stick with the 62-mile route again. Maybe I'll see ya along the way. Cheers, Chris wrote in message oups.com...
