Southern California - Apple Pie century sometime?

So it's supposed to be pretty nice this weekend. Anyone feel like doing the Apple Pie century (basic loop) this Sunday? 98 miles, with 9200 feet of descending. :D And gorgeous scenery and relatively quiet roads. I know it's short notice, but I thought I'd throw the possibility out there. As for a start time, umm, early.

not even remotely capable of making it at the moment, but give me a few weeks and i'll try to up my mileage enough to tag along with you on some centuries.

If you weren't already doing a big ride this Saturday, I was thinking I could ride 25 miles up to Oceanside, join you for about 50 miles, and then ride 25 miles home.

that actually souns cool. let's see how i feel after saturday's ride and i'll let you know.

Yeah, let me know after Saturday's ride, and if I'm not committed to taking someone else on the Pie ride, I'd be up for La Jolla--Oceanside--50 mile loop--Oceanside--La Jolla.

ok sounds good.

Jason, please, please do this again, as I'd love to join. But I'm doing 100 on Saturday and now committed to either over the hill or Big T on Sunday. But I wanted to join on the pie ride before! Which reminds me, is Extort going to do another full blow Pie Ride (with all insane options) again this year?

When's good for you, M.E.?

I can't on sunday, we have a meeting with the video guy for the wedding @ 4:30 so I have to stop playing by 2pm max. So I'm just gonna go fishing early in the morning off Coronado Island. I'm riding on Saturday though.

When's good for you, M.E.?

Sometime late April for sure. March is a beast with back to back rides and a double. :eek: I've lost it, Jason, completely lost it. :D

I'll be ready by end of April for another crack at that route.

A intervention may be in order. Court ordered attendance at home and garden shows, confinement to shopping malls on weekends. I will talk to the Judge. :p

How's the last Sunday of April for you, M.E.? It could be my final tune-up for Breathless Agony.

Well, I kind of like the idea of Indolent's intervention, personally. :p But, yes, the end of April would work as I have the double on 4/14. :D

you're a crazy woman with all those doubles!!!!


edit: crazy in a GOOD way:D

Why thank you, Jeff. I'll take that as a compliment. :D As for the doubles, if I knock those three out, I'll have Triple Crown over. Of course, I'll then have to find another goal. *sigh*

I already missed it. :o I also missed KOM. So, I'm not sure what...

I hear that tatoos are a good outlet for folks with endorphin addiction. Of course you eventually run out of room for more.

Maybe you should just shoot for a solo RAAM?

Well then, Furnace Creek 508 it is.

:rolleyes: I'm not getting any tatoo. And if I did, it would be strategically placed and very tiny. So, no, that won't work. And, NO, funny guy, I'm not doing RAAM or Furnance solo! Besides, my goals aren't nearly as ambitious as some of the folks on here who are going for Triple Crown and KOM this year! :eek:

Boy, you boys got jokes this morning...:rolleyes: ;) :p

of course it's a compliment:D I know I can't do a double!!!! I'm a rookie at centuries:( I already failed the CAM goal 2 months into the challenge:o The triple crown is an amazing goal!!!!! You should do every yr but see if you can do it a bit faster then the time before becoming a faster ultra rider:D

You can too do a double if you train for it! :rolleyes: And as for me doing doubles faster and faster...not happening. I'm not really sure I want to get to where I try and ride 200 miles with as little breaks as possible kind of thing. I'll leave that to the big boys...and girls...well...girl....Brandy.:p

train for a long ride......never heard of that before LOL I just ride my bike and prey I make it:D

At SOME point you will ride faster without you even knowing it:D

Yes, as soon as someone figures out how to dangle a margarita from a pole a few feet in front of my bike, I'll ride a whole lot faster. :p It seems I've been speeding up rides lately to get a margarita! (not so sure I should be admitting that)

someone needs to find a jersey with a margarita print on it and let you ride behind them for the entire
trip:p

You mean HIM, right?...behind HIM. Because that's the second best thing to dangle in front of me...a man in tight spandex. :p

FYI there is still snow on Palomar Mt, looks like a good amount of it. Not sure long long it will stick though.
I'll try and take a pic when I get to work.

Hmm. I guess this weekend's out. I'll save Pie Ride for late April.

Apr 28th is the Alpine Challenge...which I'm doing...which everybody should be doing.

Isn't there something for doing 5 doubles?

I prefer the rides that I don't have to pay for:D Yah I'm a broke bastard:D

An icepack.

An icepack.

yeah...for the butt...:D

think a full body ice pack is needed for 5 doubles:eek:

Just douse the rider with water and put in a larger freezer??

Of course, I'll then have to find another goal. *sigh*
