2006 Eastern Sierra Double Century
Let's give a big "Who Hah" for that old North Wind out of Benton Crossing!  It was the savior for many a rider this year.  Jeff Landauer had such an easy day that after his ride, he took off on a 30-minute run and then set up his massage table at ride finish.  Not too bad for a guy that had just soloed the last 120 miles of the event and set a new course record of 9 hours 56 minutes.  He humiliated the old record by 20-minutes (one that he and a group of riders set a few years ago).  Most riders were still on Sagehen, while Jeff was exchanging his cycling cleats for a pair of Nikes!   These images were captured on Old Sherwin Grade and Sagehen.

2006 Heartbreak Double Century
Memorial Day Weekend brought blistering temperatures and riders faced possible heatstroke......NOT!!  Ride start saw 25 mph headwinds and a wind chill factor of 16 degrees.  If i'm lyin', I'm dyin'.  A few people (whom I guess don't have Internet at home) showed up in shorts and sleeveless jerseys.  Needless to say, they let the winds blow them back to ride start, after a few miles. It turned out to be a decent day and those that stuck it out, were greeted by a great tailwind on the way home.  These images were captured at the crest of Heartbreak.

2006 Hemet Double Century
Over 200 riders helped Ride Director Jim Watrous celebrate the 41st anniversary of the Hemet Double Century.  Aside from a few gusty winds, the weather was ideal and several riders completed their first double century.

2006 Solvang Double Century
Epic!!  A "boatload" of riders made their way to Solvang.  Many were prepared for the second coming of Noah.  Others, never checked the forecast and started the rider in their finest summer wear.  Many riders fell by the wayside...wet and cold.  We also learned how many riders and bikes can fit into a taxi. By the time people arrived in Morro Bay, they were greeted by clearing skies and a stout tailwind back to Solvang.  Kudos to the hearty souls who finished the event and the awesome support people who were never short of encouragement.

2006 Spring Death Valley Double Century
The ride maxed out with a combo of 300 century and double century riders.  Aside from a little rough road issue, the conditions were among the best ever for this ride.  You could read the apprehension in the rider's faces when they arrived Friday night and were greeted with 35 mph winds and chilly temps.  All the fretting was for naught, as Saturday was a perfect day for a DOUBLE!

2005 Knoxville Double Century
Quack, Quack, Quack!  The boys hosted a ride that will be tough to beat.  Temps were easily 20 degrees below what the riders have endured the past two years.  Sunday's award ceremony saw six riders inducted into the Cal Triple Crown Hall of Fame and Dave Evans recognized for never DNF'ing any of his 100+ double centuries.

2005 Desperado Dual Double Century
No sophomore slump for the wonderful folks form Color Country Cycling Club!  The number of riders were up from 2005 and the temperatures were down - perfect.  Many riders set PRs for the event.  Others used it as a tune-up for the 2005 LOTOJA race.

2005 Eastern Sierra Double Century

The rumor is that Deb and Brian paid big $$$ to the "Weather Gods" this year for some of the best conditions in recent memory (next time, maybe they could spend a little more to assure a tailwind on the way back to Bishop)!!

2005 Breathless Agony

Take 114 miles, add 12,000' of vertical, stir in dense fog and temps that were just 7 degrees above freezing, "stick to your cleats mud", and the Grim Reaper with a scythe.  Throw in 265 cyclists and shake well.  Voila!!  The 2005 Breathless Agony.

2005 Mulholland Double Century

"Epic!"  "Another 1,200 feet??"  "Hold on, I gotta walk this sucker."  "I feel like @#&*!!"  These are just a few things overheard at the 2005 Mulholland Double Century. Mix together a little heat, 140 riders, 16,500' of elevation, and you have the first leg of the Cal Triple Crown Stage Race.

The largest and best Solvang Double Century ever!  Over 500 riders enjoyed near perfect weather conditions.  Countless "PR"s were set.  Our hosts, Deb and Brian (with the help of all the volunteers), showed everyone just how much fun a double century can really be.  Kudos to all who had a hand in this classic ride!

2005 Butterfield Double Century

The 2005 Cal Triple Crown opened with a bang and then a splish and a splash. Congrats to the 86 brave and hearty souls who endured rain, mud, wind, and route changes.  They even dodged a tornado along their journey!

2004 Race Across Oregon

Imagine riding along beautiful Oregon back country roads, through lush forests and among the incredible fossil formations along the John Day River.
