    This will be my first century and my first road bike event, pretty excited about it.

    Anyone else doing it?

    Looks like a nice route, take some sunscreen with you, it will be SUNNY and HOT. Do you plan on any pre-ride of the route?, if so I might join in for that.

    I'd be tempted to try the metric if I wasn't going to be in NorCal. :(

    A century on my commuter is one of my biking goals for this year.

    PCH thru Laguna in the summer will be interesting. Lots of gnar climbs on the century route too.

    If you want some company I think I could be persuaded to do this ride, I like long rides!

    A buddy of mine just talked me into doing it, so I'm in. The course seems pretty mellow with the bulk of climbing coming through Santiago Canyon, which isn't much. Should be fun.

    Man, wow, that goes right by my house. This is the first I've heard of this ride.

    No riding it for me this year - I'll be at the hospital with my <1 day old newborn then. :D

    Thinking about it. Some pretty gnarly climbing. Last big hill is from Baby Beach, Dana Point, up to the Chart House. Ouch!

    OK...this is on the calendar. As long as my wife is not in labor, I'll be there.

    I can do the pre ride as well. Let me know when and I'm in.
