Southern California - How many forum rides have you done?

Started thinking about it after Jason mentioned that I could attend more weekend rides in the other thread. I started counting, not bad I guess. How many and which have you done?

1st GMR ride
GMR ride with Tiffany and James
Bloat Ride
'Erb's Beach ride
Erb's B2B ride
Erb's B2B again ride (cyclocross version)
SART forum ride
Goodbye GMR ride
Not doing the double GMR ride
Breathless Agony (if you would consider it a BF'er ride, there were so many)

10 total!:D

Geez Bean I am not used to you being on the fourms this early. Okay I have done maybe 4 ?

-oceanside-irvine-oceanside
-pie III

Wow, you got lots of TITS!:D

A big fat zero! :mad: But I'm tryin' to change that!

Is this any ride with another BF member, or just those that are
somewhat organized?


I think it's around 7 or more somewhat organized,
(3 Road, and 4 or so Mtb.)
and a few where I met up with BF people on other spur of the moment rides.

Oh there's no way I would be able to remember! Lots o' rides. :D

GMR?

My first is one of the later TdSS I think; with another one that has a similar route. Route-wise, I only remembered a nice stretch that is on the then-new-yet-unopened road.

Other than that, there's the Irvine->SD Burrito ride, 3 GMR rides (2 to village and 1 to East Fork), and one that ends at Dan's place for a nice BBQ. :D

Who knows? Not counting organized rides sponsored by other groups and not counting rides planned via PM, I can recall the following off the top of my head. I'm sure I'm missing a few.

Not too bad for being "busy" and supposedly never having time to ride, huh? :) I wonder how many rides I forgot to put on the list.

Just 3...

B2B
Santa Barabara
Goodbye GMR

Hopefully more in the future!!!

Not enough. These rides are the best. I'm going to go out on a limb and say these rides are the most fun I've had with a group ride. I'm fairly new to the Bike Forum crowd, and wish I could do more (but being 350 miles away, it makes it kinda tough)

Tour de Santa Barbara II
Memorial Day Ride in San Jose
Mt. Baldy Village (Not Doing Eastern Sierra Pity ride)

0

Last year I actually planned on 2 but got called in to work those days... being a SART rider, some of the rides intimidate me.

I'm lame, I've only done the past GMR ride with you all and some MTB ride I gathered in between

And JT

but we don't talk about JT...

Zero. :(

They're all too far away. Well, ok, the IE tour one wasn't, but I think there was a race that weekend, and there was a race the weekend of Breathless Agony as well.

It's nothing personal guys/gals. On the weekends I'm *not* racing I'd just as soon ride from my front door and have the rest of the day to relax, and/or do housework/errands/laundry, as opposed to spending it sitting in traffic on some freeway.

With my irrational hatred for driving I just don't think I'm cut out for this suburban living thing. I need to move to a bike friendly city with good public transpo, or get a unabomber shack in the woods somewhere...

Oh, I ride with you guys every day, whether you are there or not...

Too many to remember...and they are all GREAT!!

jsigone: You did Pie in Nov'06 and Burrito in Dec'06...I know, because I was there, and I carpooled with you.


So, yeah...

Pie Nov'06
Burrito Dec'06
Aliso Canyon MTB where I broke Jsigone's bike
rode with Chuck le'Head and Jsigone two weeks ago

Too many to remember...and they are all GREAT!!Same here.

Add Torrey Pines time trial this morning, and I'm up to 32 forum rides that I recall. (And Poway Century, Palm Springs metric, and Breathless Agony this year might as well have been forum rides. Especially Poway and Palm Springs.)

Same here.

But I havent ridden any with you Frank...or at least I know we havent met!!
We'll change that sometime!

I haven't gone on any yet - although I have met a few of you.

But just like Trevor said, nothing personal here too. The main reason is that I have a 22 month old toddler that takes up most of my time. Consequently, my mid-week base mileage is from bike commuting to work (that is, more time to ride because I'm substituting driving time with riding time). I do get in a weekend morning ride (either Saturday or Sunday), but that is usually rolling out the front door at my first opportunity - it's hard for me to go to a ride where I have to drive first or coordinate with others.

I consider myself lucky that I've still been getting in 100 miles on good weeks!

But I havent ridden any with you Frank...or at least I know we havent met!!
We'll change that sometime!I saw you at Stagecoach. I was standing by the side of the road before the start and saw you. I tried to say hello but all I could make was a teeth chattering sound.

Oh yeah..I think I remember that...my brain cells are just now thawing from that!!

ZERO. But I'm new around here and plan to get out more. :)

I think 97 :D

I can't remember, but over the past (almost year), I've ridden and organized many. Mainly, I love this forum as I've met riders of all levels and personalities and just great folks. I've also made friends, met new acquiantences and learned a butt load! :D

Hi,


Irvine to Solana Beach Amtrak ride (rode with the group to San Clemente)
Laguna Beach ride with Tiffanie, Paul, Dave, and James
Infamous Joshua Tree ride organized by Caligurl
Highway 39 ride organized by Vertical Bob


Saw some forum folks at Cool Breeze and Mulholland Challenge.

I've been on 5 or so, from the pre-pie ride, the first Pie ride and some afterwards. I really wish I could do more of them, but they always seem to be on the weekends that I have my daughter. I would love to do the pie ride over as I was still recovering from a broken pelvic bone and that ride just about killed me. I always have fun riding with you all and can't wait to ride with socalBF again.

0 on this forum. at least two dozen on others.

One so far, planning on another June 16th.

Best Regs,
Rick / OCRR

I've been on 1 ride, The Tourmalet with Vertical Bob and it was nice meeting some BF'ers
http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=289996
I plan on doing this ride http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=303187 with VB this weekend. So after Saturday it will be 2 "BF" rides

Not many. My club rides and family keep me pretty busy most weekends.

I did the BA preview ride and one of the Palomar rides.

I have ridden in a number of organized events with quite a few BF members though (Palm Springs, Poway, Cool Breeze, Mulholland, Breathless Agony and Heartbreak 100).

just one.

Darn, my mind must've been in the gutter from the Foo teachers and bosses thread. I had read this thread to be "How many forum riders have you done?"

Oops...I meant, "I plead for the Fifth." Better? :p :D

Best laugh I have had this month so far. Almost spat my drink into my monitor. :D
