6-5-04--With two weeks to go before the Terrible Two double century, we assembled a small group (Ron Lew, Theresa Lynch, and Campy Only's Eric Norris) to preview the second half of the course.  Our route covered about 135 miles, from Santa Rosa to Cloverdale and then picking up the second half of the TT course with the Skaggs Springs, Rancheria, and Fort Ross climbs.
