Yea - the Death Valley Double was intense - the time limits are less generous for Triple Crown events, so I was a little stressed about making the limit in DV, even though I cleared the limit by a few hours. I'd highly recommend the DV rides. With little traffic and no stoplights, its about as pure as it gets. But this brevet was mostly self-supported and had more climbing, although RidewithGPS may have over-estimated a bit. Some of the other riders measured 190 miles. The variety of terrain was absolutely wonderful. Regardless of distance or elevation, most of you know what it feels like during a ride where every view of an upcoming climb evokes a curse word. That's where I was for about 80 miles! Somehow, it was wonderful! Esteban San Diego, Calif. On Jun 21, 1:43 pm, "Jim M." wrote: > Nice write-up and pics! Didn't you do the Death Valley double?

Nice write-up and pics! Didn't you do the Death Valley double? Was this 300k tougher than that?
