They have GREAT SAGs too. There is that whole sleeping in a gym thing, but it's really not too bad since it's only 2 overnights and they are in the same gym. Food is decent and the ride is challenging and beautiful. I stilll have "daymares" about a couple of those hills, but also daydreams about flying down the other side of them!

It doesn't really sound like my usual sort of thing (I've become pretty un-fond of large group rides since RAGBRAI) but it might well be something to keep in the files for a someday-thing anyhow.

Have you ever done the Cottonwood 200? http://www.cottonwood200.org/ Headwinds and hills galore! :) That ride is probably the biggest accomplishment of my life. It's also very fun and rather pretty. I haven't done it for a couple of years - but looking at the website makes me a little nostalgic. Good to see you have re-found your love for the Burley.
