Southern California - last chance century: Sun, Feb 25

Looks like we'll be doing La Jolla--San Clemente--La Jolla.


So I haven't done my February century yet, and this coming Sunday (Feb 25) looks to be my last chance. Anyone else in the same boat and want to ride a flat-ish century route together at a relaxed pace? I'm flexible as to our choice of starting location or route. If I get an OC-area ride partner, the Burrito Century route is a possibility. For a SD-area start, I was thinking maybe up and down the coast.

By the way, right now, the weather forecast is looking pretty good.

[EDIT]Ride details:

Start at Doyle Park (same start as the San Diego 200k brevet), rolling at 7 AM. No official route slip, but the general plan is to ride up the coast, through Pendleton, to San Clemente, turning around at 50 miles and heading home.

Riders:

jschen
Indolent58
jsigone
cole505

This would work for me. I was thinking of going on Saturday, but Sunday would work too. La Jolla up the coast to San Clemente and back?

I want to emphasize the "flatish" and "relaxed" part.:rolleyes: This will essentially be my first ride since breaking ribs 2+ weeks ago.

La Jolla--San Clemente--La Jolla works for me.

I still need my Feb century too. I've been going back and forth between wanting to head to Long Beach for the final day of ToC and getting the century ride in. I may be up for riding with you guys...

Join us, Tiff. :D We'll have a great time.

Dont do it Tiff, go to the race.:eek: Sorry, Im a bad influence, Ill be at the race tomorrow.:D

Hmm... how to convince Tiff...

Tiff, if you join us, I'll buy all the riders dinner at Rock Bottom La Jolla afterward. :) So... who's in? And who's going to help convince Tiff to be in?

The only thing holding me back from going is the winner will pretty much already be determined. Hmmmm.... crowds of thousands or a ride then dinner at Rock Bottom with the company of Jason, Dan and anyone else who will be coming along????

Jason, I don't think it'll take much for me to be convinced. I'll just need to see that I can work out being gone all day. :)

Hey, free dinner is hard to pass up. But these are the worlds best riders. Hummmmm, can I watch the race and meet you at the restaurant?:D

Come watch the ToC with us Tiff!!!!!

...or ride to the ToC, and get your century in at the same time...:D

Come watch the ToC with us Tiff!!!!!

Quiet!

Tiff, come to SD and ride!

I just PM'ed her and offered to pick up, drop off, pick up her kids on Friday if she wants to get her century in then, so :p She needs to come watch the race!

Hmm... how to convince Tiff...

Tiff, if you join us, I'll buy all the riders dinner at Rock Bottom La Jolla afterward. :) So... who's in? And who's going to help convince Tiff to be in?

Not only will Jason buy you dinner, but the identities of all the Letter Girls will be revealed! You can see ToC reruns on TV - this you can only see in person.:D

Hot, sexy, lycra clad men to ogle over...probably drenched in sweat and looking supah-fine...is there even a choice? ;)

So you agree then. She should come ride with us. I'm glad that's settled. :D :D

I knew that was coming...lol. :p

:roflmao: OMGoodness I feel so loved... and being pulled on like a rag doll. :D I can't do a century on Friday. Well, I could.. but I really don't want to ride 100 alone.

Seeing hot, sexy, lycra clad men drenched in sweat and lookin' supah-fine is what's been holding me back from making a decision. :D

I like George's idea about riding there and getting my century in at the same time, too!!! Ugh, what to do, what to do...

Last dance. Last chance. For romance.

Oh hey! That reminds me.... pm to follow!

Dan, do you happen to have a route slip (either on paper or in your mind) for this route? Or will I have to come up with something?

That'll work, but I was thinking of the one with bushier looking eyebrows.

It's all in my mind :D

Really just ocean on left for 50 or so miles, ocean on right for 50 or so miles. The only real choice to make is I-5 vs Pendleton.

That's way over my head. I think I'll need someone to explain that one. :p

Come watch the ToC with us Tiff!!!!!

Are you going Sunday in Long Beach? When and where?

BTW, Jason, there's a Rock Bottom in downtown Long Beach too... :D

I need to do a century this weekend also, but unlike you I HATE to drive, so heading down to SD, even to ride with you, is out of the question unless someone wants to drive me. :)

Tiff might be able to drive you. :)

I'm game for a sunday ride, where is the starting point? and Time?

Umm, Dan, where are we starting? If you don't care, I'll propose Doyle Park as a possibility.

As for time, I figure a 7 AM start gives us plenty of time to do this ride at a relaxed pace and to even eat lunch somewhere along the way if we so choose.

I need to get a century in for FEB too. Thats an hour drive for me though.. It would be nice to ride with some bfers on a long ride away from the Inland Empire..

Where would you start from?

what ever happened to the palomar century on saturday? Just wondering....... anyhow, this will be a good ride to break in my new shoes, I've only used them twice soo far and I got them at the beginning of the month!!!

Last I heard, it was on, but I can't make it this Saturday, so I'm planning a Sunday ride. That and I'm not so sure I'd survive a hilly century right now. :o

yah i havn't touch my bike in a while so I'm sure the hills would kick my butt too, but about 40% of the back half is either DH or flat. so it's like having easy miles added on. I want to go fishing at least one day this weekend and get on the bike the other.

Doyle Park is fine.

looks like we're fishing saturday so that leave sunday open for a nice long ride:D I vote going through the base, I hate riding on the freeways unless we're really strapped for time. Even still, I cant go faster then 26mph on the straight:rolleyes:

Ralph, we have never met but you can ride with me. I don't have a bike rack, pick-up bed OK with you?

I still need my Feb century too. I've been going back and forth between wanting to head to Long Beach for the final day of ToC and getting the century ride in. I may be up for riding with you guys...

As an alternative, how about the Burrito Century, round 2, on Saturday? Mel and I are strongly considering doing it. We will probably leave from Irvine Amtrak around 6:45am.

Anyone up for that?

I would love to Matt but unfortunately I can't ride on Saturday. My son's baseball team will be playing the first game of the season during their opening ceremonies, and I definitely can't miss his first Majors game!

Enjoy the ride... that's a great route!

Eat a hot dog for me!

Looks like we'll be doing La Jolla--San Clemente--La Jolla.

We're doing it, Jason, but on Saturday. Sunday won't work for us, unfortunately.

Cole,

Thanks for the offer and normally that would be great , but my mom died this morning so I won't get a century ride in this month. I'll probably ride this weekend, but just out on the SART to clear my head. Enjoy the ride, and give Jason a hand shake for me.

Oh no Ralph, I'm sorry to hear that. :(

I'm out guys... I'm going to hook up with Nosra451 and others for a ride to the race. Thanks Jason, for offering to buy the post-ride meal. :)

what ever happened to the palomar century on saturday? Just wondering....... anyhow, this will be a good ride to break in my new shoes, I've only used them twice soo far and I got them at the beginning of the month!!! I sort of went and made other plans for Sat because when Frank said his back was hurt I guess I assumed that meant the ride was cancelled. :o I'll be checking out the ToC w/Nosra, Tiff, Pico, etc. on sunday.

Ralph, I'm really sorry to hear about your mom.

My condolences. :(

Ralph, I'm sorry to hear about your mother's passing.
