Just wanted to give you a heads up that the course for this year's 100 is on the website but the aid station information is from last year's course. We really do need 1) the climb/descent per aid station segment, and 2) any intermediate cut-off times. It's less than 48 hours to the start, and predicting timing for my crew needs to happen ASAP. I guess I'll go check Facebook next in case it's there already... [Update: It's not there either...]

hey weston. I created a excel sheet that maybe handy for you. i am shooting for a 24 hour run (at least can dream) i have worked out all the stops if I was running a 14 minute mile which gets me to the finish at 7 am on sunday morning. of course i may go slow or faster at times but it will be handy for your crew to keep you on mark ..... if you are interested give me your email ...

Mike, I traced some of the gain/loss between AS's on my topo map for you. I only measured climbs/descents of 200' or more, so there will be much more but this should give you a pretty good idea. I would add in a probable 1000'-2000' per loop to factor in the rolling terrain that I didn't measure. Also, I didn't factor in hill growth or AS mileage drift on the 3rd and 4th loops!!! Loops I and III Rodeo to TV: 800' gain/600' loss TV to Muir: 800' gain/600' loss Muir to TV: 1030' gain/800' loss TV to GGB: 1100' gain/1120 loss GGB to Rodeo: 860' gain/1000' loss Loops II and IV (reverse of previous numbers... accurate, huh?) Rodeo to GGB: 1000' gain/860' loss GGB to TV: 1120' gain/1100' loss TV to Muir: 600' gain/800' loss Muir to TV: 800' gain/1030' loss TV to Rodeo: 600' gain/ 800' loss Obviously, my measuring system is wildly inaccurate, but it should give you a rough idea for your crew!!! As you can see, that's 4590' and 4120' of gain depending on which direction you're going. In reality, these numbers should be almost the same. We're going down every hill we go up, right? This, of course, makes the course completely flat in my book!!!! See you in a couple days!!!!! All Day! ~Ken

"Also, I didn't factor in hill growth or AS mileage drift on the 3rd and 4th loops!!! " So I'm not the only one who thinks those things get changed during each loop
