Grand Slam Hoodoo 500 KOM Challenge

 

 

The 2005 Solvang Double Century was far and away the biggest and BEST ever. 474 riders took to the roads of the Santa Ynez valley, and enjoyed this beautiful course under sunny, blue skies. The wild flowers were incredible and the hillsides more lush and green than we've ever seen.

Here's what a few of our riders had to say about it:

"Congratulations on another great double! The minor course detour in SLO was handled very smoothly, but then I would expect nothing less from a ride director who pulled off the Butterfield reroute (also smoothly accomplished). I missed the excitement of a mass start, but concede that 500+ riders would be overly exciting. I also could have waited until 7:30, but at my pace I would have been on Drum Canyon uncomfortably close to sunset. I did enjoy sleeping in some and starting/ending in full daylight. With over five hundred riders you rival the Davis Double and dwarf the other doubles. I'm surprised that all your doubles aren't equally as large as the routes are beautiful. Keep up the great work." - Tim Houck

"The 2005 Solvang Double was the most enjoyable cycling event we've attended in a long time. All the volunteers were unfailingly friendly and patient (even when you were doubtlessly answering the same stupid question for the 300th time). What a contrast to some other events!" - Keith & Mireya

"Thank you for the staggered early time starts. Being a slower rider it helps me to start early, get ahead of the crowd for awhile, and always be around riders
throughout the day instead of alone so much. ... The route was beautiful, the support was great, and the ride was organized. Thanks for all the hard work that went into making this a wonderful and rewarding event." - Sharon Dermer

"What a great weekend! I can't thank you and Brian enough for the opportunity too help out on Saturday. It was an eye opener for me, as I had no idea how much effort goes into one of these rides. (Probably still don't.) Your efforts are greatly appreciated. I had a great day helping people, and seeing the course from the car." -Steve McGrath

Kudos to all of the rookie double century finishers! Here's a list of the riders who told us it was their first time: Neal Abello, Tony Curwen, Marc DeFalco, Stuart Ewy, Mark LaBouff, RJ LoCurto, Barbie Lucas, Maxwell Lucas, Andrew McClain, Jim Pettett, Sandy Pflug, Bill Schuler, Susan Snow, Nelson Stanford, Granger Tam, Vickie Young, Frederick Zankowsky and Eric Zetterbaum
