Anybody familiar with the bike course? Is it as flat as advertised? I guess it heads into some hills NW of Davis, but are there actual “climbs” or just some mild rollers and rises?
Also – does anybody know anything about the swim venue they can share?
Finally – am I right in thinking that Sept. 17 in Davis is as likely as not to be over 95 degrees?
thanks!
Have not ridden in Davis, but LC should be able to clue you in on the course.
It could be 80 or 100 in Sept. Hopefully closer to 80s since we have been at or near 100 for the last month. PM me if you need a place to stay (i’m about 40 min from Davis).
Thanks Jason. I might be in touch.
bump…
Caliman will be my first 1/2. Good luck!
Based on the course map that is going to be one flat bike ride. As stated, the only hills (and they won’t be that big, I wouldn’t think, as Vacaville is not known for large elevation changes) will be as you get towards the middle of the course. That course starts in Sac and heads west, and that area is flat as a pancake.
You might be looking at mid 90’s - based on our weather lately, but hopefully by mid-Sept it’ll cool down a bit. Sacramento tends to stay hotter longer than the Bay Area though.
Haven’t swum in that area, but based on water temps lately, it might be a pretty warm swim. With the high temps we’ve had the water is all getting pretty warm.
