I want to do it just for the jersey!

I want to do it just for the jersey!

Hmmm....I have the last couple..but I am not so sure I like this years.....

Does this one sell out in like 10 minutes like the Wildflower? In other words, should I email people and let them know or call them and let them know?

I dont think so...but I would not take the chance...it is getting very popular...

I'm not digging the jersey much this year either. Actually, I was just telling George about this ride yesterday while we were driving home from Solvang...I am torn because it was my first century and I thought about doing it again. On the other hand...I'd rather save my limited funds to pay for double centuries!

We were right! We AREN'T going to ever ride with you again! :(

I just registered. Thanks for the tip. I did it last year and loved it, but it took me to my limits. I think I'm in better shape this year. What I'm really worried about is the Wildflower later this month, which is hillier than the Cool Breeze. All reassuring, comforting words welcome.

Then next year...you'll be saving all your money for triples.

Every once in a while, throw a few scraps to the peons below.

Hills are only hard half the time. Flats make you work the whole time.

I'm going this year (my sis asked if I wanted to go to the Tim McGraw concert again! :p)
Century or Double Metric???

I am thinking of doing the double metric this year!That's the best scenic route......and includes Cali Hill near the end of the ride!...:D

They have a DM...8400ft of elevation!!
Was my first century also!!

You're going to the concert again, aren't you? :p

Double metric for me.

This event won't sell out until July. They post the approximate number of open spots on the website.

Double metric - signed up and ready to go.

Good...I'll know if I'm healed by then.

Last year I was able to register for the double metric just days before the ride. There's plenty of time. :)

Ok Brandy. We are scheduled to do the OC start for the B2B, and my 16 mph average, along with
the 80 miles PB would just hold you back. HHmmmm....... should I let her shame me on this ride.

Reaching Encanto park, Brandy is asked;
"Hey wasn't Drew with you?"
Brandy : Ya, I dropped him in the first 10 minutes.
Drew ( pulling in 1 hr later); Man, I got owned....:o

don't worry, we'll use the "flat" excuse again. ;) :D

I like it! Its definately different than last year's though!

I am doing the century...

me too... was thinking about the DM but I don't think I can be ready for that one!

Sounds like a good idea. I like Coolbreeze, by August I won't want to ride any further inland
than the northbound lane of PCH.

BTW, it was fun riding with you and Tony on Saturday.
VB rides are always pretty good.

Actually, I don't think she rides anymore. Think about it... never rides with us... outrageous cycling accomplishment claims... no more photos taken by/of her while riding...

Things that make you go hmmmm.

i imagine ill be signing up sometime today.....90% likely itll be for the DM

I really miss C&C Music Factory. Freedom Williams never quite lived up to Ice-T's stature.


And, you're right. Brandy is a poseur. Posing for all the other poseurs who pose. People only see her at the beginning of rides now, where she hammers to the first turn, jumps into the bushes, then takes a helicopter to the finish line.

Well if you can do Wildflower - Cool Breeze is a piece of cake. BTW if you are wavering between Wildflower 100 or 75 do the 75, much prettier ride. Still tough but pretty.

CB Is a century I can go out and ride with little training behind me. It's got a great warm up of a flat 20 miles going out, the climbs are are scenic (although some of tough) and coming back is also that flat easy 20 miles and you have plenty of time to train and get ready. I would plan on the century. It's probably my favorite century ride.

I'll be signing up for the DM closer to the date (it will be my first crack at CB double metric). I've never known it to sell out and if it does, oh well. I've done the century three years in a row and can practically go out and ride it by memory! :D

Registered for the Century route. See all you BF'ers there !

i'll sign up closer to the date for the double metric..........i can't plan that far in advance.

"I'm doing it for Cali Hill"

Hey Fixer, I had the same thought.. Only this time I'm going to accomplish it the right way;)

Signed up this morning.

I haven't signed up yet, but will probably go for the century. I'm in a worse shape that I was late last year, but there's still lots of time for training before August. :)

august is a LOOOOOONG ways away still.

I think I'll sign up. How is the hotel situation on ride weekend?

not bad....TONS of places right there....

man....i just looked at the jersey for the ride....ooooooffff, thats fugly!!!

I'll probably sign up for the double metric, to force myself to train for it.

It's ugly, but in a way sort of tribal cool.

man....i just looked at the jersey for the ride....ooooooffff, thats fugly!!!


Yeah..I just couldnt buy one...did get the tshirt...

I'm in the "too fugly to buy" camp.

I kind of like it, but it may be too much in person.

not bad....TONS of places right there....You have any suggestions? The only place we've stayed is the tall Holiday Inn but it's a couple of miles from the start and $170 a night.

ive done the motel 6 which was really close to the old start..its like any other motel 6......dunno whats near the new start..

Its pretty industrial by the start ...not sure there is anything around that area...
