Definitely one of my faves, Bob. I'll be headed out that direction next week. But I'm also having a blast touring the local roads. Great workout and I make the descent harder by holding a squat position or relying only on poling to push myself back up the little rollers on the descent (instead of stopping and putting skins back on).
But I wouldn't mind jogging through the orchards of the Central Valley like Steve does every once in a while...
