    I usually carry 3 sandwich bags with 2 scoops of perpetuem in each bag, 3 granola bars, 2 hammer gels. All fits in one pocket. That works out well for most of the day. I plan on having some solid food at each rest stop as well.

    Beth and I plan to start about 6:30/7. We narrowed it down to that. I'll be in black lycra and a jersey.
    Look for me near the food! :wave:

    Cold and windy??? HECK YES!!! Well, maybe not cold, i was out this evening and the temps were perfect, of course, the morning will be freezing. I think the winds will pick up around 11 or so. West to east. Been like that the past 3 days, like 20mph winds. I am in moreno valley, so the route goes past my house in the am.

    See you all near the start - I'll too will be bundled up I'd rather be too warm to start and have stuff with me for the descent - riding a black cervelo with the funny looking ISM seat.

    Good Luck!

    By now most of you are at the start getting ready for a long steep ride. Good Luck and post pics and ride report. Few people I know are doing the ride. Work has me today.

    Ride Safe!:wave:
