Training Ride/Event 4/5: Cinderella Classic & Challenge

April 5 was the annual women-only bike event, the Cinderella, hosted by the Valley Spokesmen cycling club.  The classic is a metric century, 66 miles.  The challenge is 85 miles, including Patterson Pass and Altamont Pass.  http://www.valleyspokesmen.org/cinderellaclassic.  The men did a Morgan Territory loop.

To really embrace the Cinderella, you dress up.  There are some great costumes, Laura, Sueli, and Debbie went for crowns.  This was the last rest stop (mile 70 for the challenge).

Do we look different after the ride?  The Arthritis Foundation had an information table at the expo after the ride.
Stats:
85.55 miles
Elevation gain:  take your choice, this year the computer said 4,291 feet.  Last year it said 3,509.
