Southern California - Let's ride next weekend! (Sat. 9/8)

I'm thinking of the Santiago Cyn/Back Bay loop but open for other suggestions. Who's in? :D

Tenative, what time and what's the distance? Oh, is it miserably hot down there?

Oh, is it miserably hot down there?

Heeeeeel yeah! But I think it's s'posed to cool down late this week. I was feeling the heat on the trail early yesterday in SA/ Anaheim. I can imagine what SC was like!:eek:

I'm thinking a 7:30ish roll-time, possibly earlier if it's still this hot. Here's the routeslip (http://www.bikely.com/maps/bike-path/Santiago-Cyn-Back-Bay-Loop). It's not miserable, hot and humid but tolerable for sure. Nothing like up where you guys are!

Will there be a donut stop? Mmmm donuts.

Will there be a donut stop? Mmmm donuts.They're called Starbucks now. :D

They're called Starbucks now. :D

Heathen! Nothing can replace delicious donuts.

Looks good to me!

I should be there unless Jackie has other ideas. Maybe I'll talk her into coming along, esp. if the Rebel ride for next Sat. doesn't suit her! Or . . . if I don't get seduced by some climbing ride.

Rick / OCRR

There are tons of local donut shops, and this ride sounds like fun. Count me in as long as I can wake up on time.

Hi,

I'd do this ride except I have to wash my hair on Saturday morning. ;)

Seriously, I promised some folks that I'd ride my new bike on the club ride on Saturday. :o

That's the day of the Amtrack :(

I'm thinking of the Santiago Cyn/Back Bay loop but open for other suggestions. Who's in?

How about the High Sierra Fall Century? :D I'll be there.

i'll probably cruise up. where's the start?

Gotta work....:mad:

No can do...gonna be riding the Amtrak Century that day :(

Hmm...we shall see...

I may come up as well. So starting in Bonita Creek Park?

So.. what will be the pace?

Durr...I'm out... neighbor kids' birthday party at 11 am on Saturday. Knowing full well that a 60 miler, 3.5 hour ride will end up being 6 hours at least, there's no way I can join you party animals.

Next time.

So.. what will be the pace?

With Tiff, Chucklehead, and Extort 'making sure nobody gets dropped', the pace will probably be on the uptempo side.

That very polite of you..

I wish I wish I wish I could go on this ride... but I can't. :(

(No long rides 'til after the 25th for me)

Is this the same route as the BF last ride that started in Bonita Creek Park?

I'd love to . . . but I can't. (everyone breathes a sigh of relief)

Is this the same route as the BF last ride that started in Bonita Creek Park?Yep, you were in that one too (http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=322077&highlight=santiago and http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=323895&highlight=santiago).

if I have gas money I'll go......

I may come up as well. So starting in Bonita Creek Park?

Yep! :D

So.. what will be the pace?

I haven't any idea! :o

Durr...I'm out... neighbor kids' birthday party at 11 am on Saturday. Knowing full well that a 60 miler, 3.5 hour ride will end up being 6 hours at least, there's no way I can join you party animals.

Next time.

At least! :p I propose minimal stops and to spend any extra time at a post-ride meal! :D

With Tiff, Chucklehead, and Extort 'making sure nobody gets dropped', the pace will probably be on the uptempo side.

Remove my name from that equation and you have an accurate statement. ;)

(No long rides 'til after the 25th for me)

Why's that? Training for something?



Good to see this is coming together... I knew SoCal wouldn't let me down! ;) :D

There is a chance that Tracie might join if Chucklehead can keep the pace under control - possibly by riding one of these:

i'd totally ride that.

Work. :(

I have to deliver ten paintings to Santa Anita by opening weekend (the 29th), which will just only free me up in time for the Lighthouse Century. I keep telling myself, "I love what I do. I love what I do..." :o

Next time for sure, Tiff, esp when the weather cools down. :D

Of course not...plan and they will come! I can't make it, but that's due to my need to climb up in the San Gabriels and then get stuff done later in the day. You guys have a great ride! :)

Joy, I just finished one. Can you use this?

Nine to go.

(no disrespect to the exquisite work you do)

Melissa and I have pretty rigid time restrictions on Saturday, so we're heading out super early and plan to finish quick. Maybe we'll cross paths, though. We'll keep an eye out for the group!

"need"?

I need to have a beach house at Malibu.

:rolleyes: Look it, I keep saying I'll go up there and then I bail. I NEED to get up there or Bob isn't going to invite me anymore. Besides, he forgot all about me today when listing who was coming this Saturday. :(

Cool Deal. I'm in. Trying to figure out where to ride, in my own backyard practically.

Woo Hoo!

looks like the gas budget has me doing a local ride, maybe next weekend for the B2B ride

I might join you guys for part of the ride.

Count me in.
I'll take a flight leaving at around midnight and I should arrive on time.
I'll the fly out right after the 4 o'clock tea and donuts following the ride.
:rolleyes:

Wish I could be there.
Looks like it will rain here on Saturday, so my club ride may be cancelled.

so who all's gonna be there?

I'm in.

I just updated the first post with those who've responded...

Oh and let's plan for a 7:30 meet, 8:00 roll time?

That's what I was waiting for... okay, I'm in.

We are out this time. Have fun!

Ooops, sorry. Slight change of plan. I'll stick around in SD this weekend. Still very tired from the work during the week so need some extra sleep. Next time! :)

New to group, still riding from Bonita Creek Park and how long of a ride?

Yes, Bonita Creek Park. Map (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=la+vida+and+la+salud,++newport+beach,+ca&sll=33.64786,-117.86471&sspn=0.006975,0.014334&ie=UTF8&ll=33.645492,-117.863817&spn=0.055804,0.11467&z=14&iwloc=addr&om=1). I don't think the distance / route has been finalized. Probably 50-60 mi.
