Southern California - Nov. 4th Solvang Prelude

okay M.E. then its decided... you're doing Solvang :p
Okay...twist my arm :p I'm doing Solvang - no offense to Itits, who has been working hard to plan! I'm sure that ride will be full of southern BFers. Then I get to ride with the group on 11/11. Trac - you're coming to that one, right? And, Injured, I think it only fair you make it to JT as well! :D

Not yet, but that sounds good. Gonna run to Bev-Mo and get some beer.:D


yeah... the time I may race in front of you is if we're headed to the bathrooms :p but it will be nice to meet ya though ;)

Yes, I will be at JT as well. Somehow I don't think we're gonna get Mr. Non-Driver :p to come to both but we've got a while to work on him!

No canceling Trac, if Im driving all that way you had better be there.;)

How long a ride is it? 3 1/2 hours or so?

That sounds about right. Acyually I did 2 trips to Downiville this year, which is around 4 hours each way. I used to drive alot, every weekend gone fishing up to 6 hrs each way towing the boat. Now I hate driving for longer periods, must be getting old.:D

HOWEVER, I'm glad you'll be at Solvang!

;) based on what most of the SoCal peeps do on a regular basis, this ride is flat :rolleyes:

t!
Yeah true, but I still haven't tried anything like Angeles Crest. Where I lived you couldn't find a climb longer than 2 miles. The Prelude is kind of like that, you want a decent climbing gear but at least they don't make you climb for 5-10 miles straight or anything.

as of right now im 90% for the prelude. im doing death valley the weekend before so it may take some serious politicking to get the lovely mrs scootcore to let me do both(im thinking of doing the planet ultra solvang 100 the weekend after the prelude as well...).

I gotta call my friend and talk him into this ride soon, I keep forgetting.:(

I don't recall M.E. setting an age limit.

Explain. Educate us. And how young is young?

Yeah my wife either. I dont really smell, well maybe after I ride, but thats the smell of lust. lol

He's 21, but we probably wont see much of him once we start.:rolleyes:


... I think she'll be paying more attention when he's standing still anyway! :p

... please don't ask how I would know this.... someone must have filled me in... :rolleyes:


Oh and actually he' make a good wind break too, he's bigger then me.:D

Lust huh???? Okay, I guess I'll have to take your word for it!

Oh and actually he' make a good wind break too, he's bigger then me.:D


.... not really what I was referring too but okay... :rolleyes:

... besides, he wouldn't be a good windbreaker for me anyway unless it was windy at registration since I'll be about 30 miles behind you all after the first 10 minutes! ;)
