Might there be interest (for some of us) in doing this as a three day ride instead of a two day ride? I know that Manny is a strong rider who will have no trouble riding 85 miles with 6000+ of climbing and finishing in daylight, but maybe there are others who'd like to do the ride, but who are uncertain about that long second day. We could camp the second night at Del Valle.
Not trying to pre-empt Manny's ride. I'm suggesting an adjunct for slower people-- though the second day would still be quite hard, and I think climbing back out of Del Valle is no picnic either.
