For you distance cycling fans

I'm tyring to figure this into my schedule for next year.
I was trying to get in a couple of the easier rides to initiate myself into it, but they conflict with my 2 major Trithlons.  So I need to do some recalculating.

You have to do at least 3 of the double century rides in a calendar year to qualify.
Any other riders interested in tackling this with me

Scott,

    I keep looking, but I can't seem to locate the 'Easier Rides" you referenced in this list.... Wi**** were closer to TX....

Yeah the easier ones would be the ones that only have 10k worth of climbing.
There doesn't seem to be anything listed as easy except the awards dinner near the end of the year.
