Tour de Los Padres

So, for the first time ever I will be doing the Tour de Los Padres. It's a local ride on mostly dirt roads here in the Los Padres National Forest. I've been following this ride for many years now, doing day-rides all winter/sping of the route in little bits. But FINALLY... This years route is different than the prior years...it's longer for one (the "Proper" route in pre-covid years was around 275 miles, this one is around 440). But this years edition has over 100 miles of pavement, so it's not as horrible as it sounds. Anyway, I start riding this Saturday morning, and hope to complete the route in 7 days, and if I am really strong 6 (or I might not make it at all...I'm only bringing food for 7 days...6 dinners, 6 breakfasts and snacks for lunch as I ride. Jeannie is dropping me off at the start (it's a 1-way ride) and picking me up in Santa Barbara at the finish. I've attached a link to the rides tracking map (I added my Satelite Position Tracker to the ride last night, so on this map you can see where I am anywhere on the map...and my position updates every 10 minutes). I am listed down under the "Route: Proper Loop Route - ITT" At the bottom you can see the Altitude Profile...the "Proper" route is the purplish color under the more blue higher altitude start...that's becasue the blue is the "Tour" route (much shorter)...they both end at the same place. OK...I need to get some sleep, tomorrow night I'll finish packing my gear and load the bike and gear in the car, ready for a 5am departure for the 2 hour or so drive to the start. I'm riding my new Salsa Cutthroat, which is an Ultra Gravel Bike...I've not ridden it loaded with gear yet, but it's made for it so should be fun. Later gators, have a great week!
