I took a spin early this morning and if the weather up there is anything like today, I'll skip the fleecy stuff and just stick with layers.
(Bibshorts + knee warmers + baselayer + BF jersey + arm warmers)

I'm probably going with my usual:

tights (but not fleece)
base layer (not fleece)
arm warmers
light wind jacket

Solvang can be chilly. But this is my favroite riding weather and I don't mind stripping layers if need be.

No. I already gave them to a cold lone cyclist I ran into on my solo, lonely ride recently. You don't like me anymore and the sight of your arm warmers would bring me to tears. :cry:

Convincing? :p :D

41 deg. predicted for 7AM Saturday in Solvang. :eek:

Hey kids. I couldn't pull the trigger. The cards just pan out for this one. Have fun, be safe, and take lots of pics!!!! Ride strong!!!

But you're already registered. You have to go!

As much as I would love to, it looks as if I will have to wait til' the next one in March. :(

Just think Dan, it'll be 80 degrees and sunny for the Tour in Tucson the following weekend if that helps any.:D:D

:cry: Sorry you can't make it Paul!

Good lucky everyone. Weather looks great. I look forward to all the photos and ride reports. By the way, I have "17" in the number-of-items-in-Scoot's-carradice pool.

Not at 6:00 in the morning, when everyone starts to line up. It's usually in the 40's and then gets to 80 by mid-day. Besides me who is doing the Tour de Tucson?

The NEXT one ISN'T in March. The one in March is the OTHER one.

We'll be at the Tour on Tandem!
:-)
Look for us in our Planet Ultra jerseys!

Should have let me know earlier, then I'll just take over your registration instead.

All packed. Brought ss jersey, bib, arm & leg warmers and tights. I'm going to bring "everything" and decide what to wear tomorrow. Oops, forgot to bring my cycling jacket. :S

See you all tomorrow! :D

By the way, Scoot, Happy and I may not be there until 7:30ish. You guys all take off and we'll catch up. Well, Scoot and Happy may catch up. I'm still mojo-less and not likely to push too hard. I have llamas to pet. :p:D

drum canyon awaits...

Sounds like you all are set to have a great ride/time!!

drum canyon awaits...

:eek: What? You're kidding I hope.

Wait a minute. Just how much climbing is there in this ride anyway? :rolleyes:

Myself, for one, and a contingent of the Garrett Gang from Vegas for another.

Since I'm doing Tucson next weekend, I'm glad to hear you aren't going be pushing it. Starting @ 7:30, can I count on that since I'm driving up Saturday morning. It means a little extra sleepl

Any one need or know of anyone who is looking for a last minute registration? Thought I would try here before donating it to CAF for this ride. PM me if there is any interest.

yes....yes you are...

:mad: I'm so mojoless, you'd better bring a tow rope. And yes, I'm fat, fattie, fat, fat, fat! Just trying to win the award for Fatbagger of the Year and I've got some stiff competition with that little Asian hottie. :D

Fatbagging and sandbagging in the same post. Excellent. Now try getting both into the same sentence. I know you can do it.

Fine.

My BIG, FAT, BLUBBER, LARD ass needs a tow rope tied to it and hauled by at least five large men to get it up any hill and preferably a cow prod to boot, as I look, smell and sound like a two-ton heifer.

There. I FAT-SMELL-SANDbagged and all in one sentence. Happy? :rolleyes::p

Just got done cleaning Sacha. Her wheels are back on, white bar tape is sparkling, her chain is cleaned and oiled, her tires checked over and her skin is gleaming with a nice coat of carbon polish. Garmin's charged, Hammer gel flask filled, cell phone charged... ready to go! :)

Carbon polish?
