The largest double century field ever assembled for a Planet Ultra event, as well as 71 adventurous century riders, took to the roads on Saturday, March 27 for an absolutely glorious day in cycling paradise. Starting and finishing in the quaint Danish village of Solvang, 340 double century riders and 71 century riders enjoyed absolutely perfect weather on quiet, beautiful, fantastic roads through, around, and beyond the Santa Ynez Valley. The spring flowers were out in force everywhere, putting the bright colors of the cycling jerseys to shame. It was as good as cycling can be and we were thrilled to share the day with everybody! (The online slideshows linked above really tell the story far better than we could do. Enjoy!)

Putting on an event over that much territory for 411 riders is no small feat, but thanks to the wonderful volunteers and Planet Ultra ambassadors and volunteers, the day went magnificently. We thank everyone for participating, for helping, for being courteous, for riding so well, and for sending us such wonderful feedback. Your support and enthusiasm are what sustain us during those dark nights of sandwich making, cooler cleaning, and results processing.

Awesome, Unsolicited, Totally Appreciated Feedback
Awesome event on Saturday March 27, 2004. This was my first ever century ride and defiantly will not be my last. I've only been riding for 3 months and already look forward to next year's century maybe even a double. I had lots of fun, very well organized, great hospitality and support. You have set a high standard in my book. I will certainly be expecting the same from other rides that I participate in. Thank you. - Jaime Andrade

You all did a wonderful job running this ride. The ride was beautiful, the support was excellent and the company was great. - Robert Tyrrell

I had a great time in Solvang - you and your crew did an amazing job! I'll be back. - Arndt
