Is it a lot of 6+% grades, or more tame than that? I think Joan and

I am involved, and I will be there.

If you want to check out the RWGPS for the route, here it is: 
http://ridewithgps.com/routes/9652217 for the 100, 
http://ridewithgps.com/routes/9738644 for the 70 mile route.  It's not a 
hilly route by any means.  Max elevation change is typically no more 
than 150' over something like 0.3 - 0.5 mi and there are only a few 
places with even moderately steep grades.


Hilly is relative, of course.  One time I did the ride and happened to 
arrive at a water stop at the top of the most challenging rise on the 
entire ride.  A guy riding a fixed gear arrived at the same time.  I was 
happy I was able to make it without shifting into my granny gear and 
said something about the rise, and the fixie rider says to me This is a 
flat ride.

Anyway, I'll be keeping an eye out for Riv's, like I always do on organized 
rides!
