Saturday AND Sunday! :D

I have no particular route(s) in mind yet... but I need to get my butt on the bike. Who's in? :D

I am planning on riding down to Camp Pendelton on Saturday morning. Basically starting in Aliso Viejo but if a group was comming down from Huntington we could meet in Dana point.

Happytime

Looks llike I'm rideless as well. Anyone want to hit the Santa Monica Mountains early on Sunday morning?

big john

You guys could make the long drive to Frazier Park and do the 4 counties with us.

Happytime

:) Thanks for the offer, John, but I'm going to ride to the Velodrome on Saturday. And on Sunday, I have to work in the afternoon.

jschen

I'll be at my parents' this Sunday, and gotta be home by lunch. Anyone up for a quick GMR/GRR run from Claremont?

I'd love to ride with you Tiff, but I have Sarah all weekend.

Hey Jason, that would be perfect, as I can reach Santa Anita easily from Claremont. Would your folks mind if I cleaned up at their place after the ride? If not, I can easily go to the closest LA Fitness club and shower up. (EDIT: There's one right in Glendora) :)

I'll give them a call tonight or tomorrow night to find out. When do you want to roll? Sunrise is at 6:50. I'd be happy to roll as early as 6:40. Up to you.

Happytime

7 or 7:30 roll would be fine and get us back in plenty of time. It should be a beautiful morning!

voltman

Don't worry, Tiff. I'll still ride with you!

merider1

Tiff, I would love to ride with you, but I'm stuck to little to no riding. If you want a flat spin on Sunday...:o Of course, I totally understand if you don't. :D

Silly Voltie. Tiff is riding GMR with us! :D

I'm glad you're not riding, ME... gives me to try and chance to catch up to you! :p;)

Psydotek

Ride up to Glen Oak. I'll be up there on Sunday. As a chaperone (me and my girlfriend) for some of the older ladies here at work who wanna go out there for some apples (they don't drive). It's an annual thing.

I told them last year i'd bring my bike this year so they can drop me off at the bottom of the hill and i'll ride up and meet them at the cafe for the breakfast buffet. But i'm not so sure about it right now. :lol: :(

merider1

Um...for your information, I can easily spin out 50 miles, my dear. My doctor didn't say I couldn't ride, she just encouraged me not to do a lot of climbing or riding in headwinds (which is equivalant to climbing in some cases). So, careful, or you'll challenge the riding dragon right on out of me...:rolleyes::p:D

damn! :mad: ;)

damn! :mad: ;)

Although...I may take this weekend to get my life (you know, the one that doesn't involve a bike?) back in order. So, you may just narrow the gap. Hmmm...methinks I smell a challenge. And it smells like I do after a long, long ride. :p :D

You should give your knee a rest. Really.

merider1

:( But...but...but...:(

roadfix

How about wearing a knee pad?

so you can help me finish installing tiles....

Will you make me BBQ and mint julips? I'm not very good at installing anything, but how hard can tiles be? :D

Come ride with OC Velo ;) :D

I hear they are even worse than SFVBC.

They sacrifice babies and stuff. How's that song go... "714 tattooed on my head..."???

Joy, care to start a thread about our Sunday ride? As for start time, 7 or 7:30 sounds fine to me. Maybe 7 since I may be a bit of a straggler since I haven't been riding recently.

merider1

Since I can't do the climbing thing, I could come meet you guys for lunch after maybe. :D

There's no marital privacy here?! And I thought I would finally get my adorable Assos-wrapped hubby all alone on the mountain!!! :eek:

OK... I'll start a thread.... just for you. :p

Well, Jason's lunching with his folks but I need to eat. How about Wood Ranch in Arcadia? Their tri-tip is to die for!

OMG..I love that place...

merider1

You plan it doll, and I'll come meet you (i.e. you tell me time - and I can be flexible). I can swing by my lbs on my way to or from Wood Ranch, so that's perfect. :)

jschen

I can delete your thread if you'd like. I only asked if you cared to start a thread. I never suggested we should invite others along.

Happytime

I can delete your thread if you'd like.

Oooh. Threaten me with your modness! :p

merider1

Oooh. Threaten me with your modness! :p

It was kind of sexy...like a power play...cyber bottom smacking, if you will. :D

Indolent58

Where is Tiff in all this? Isn't this her thread?

merider1

I hope Tiff is doing GMR which means she may even go to Wood Ranch, which means I'd get to see her. :)

voltman

She ducked out quietly as all the shenanigans began.

Happytime

What shenanigans?

There is a Team ride for Cosmos Coffee in La Mesa leaving Saturday morning about 730ish...usually goes about 60-70 miles with a good amount of climbing...we usually run 2 groups...one group splits off and goes a little farther and faster and we meet up later...

I know SD is a stretch for most of you but if you want to go PM me and i'll hook up some directions.

Knee still tweaked?

Drew12

Poor Tiff...
No takers.....

Work Saturday, but...
I can ride Sunday AM, but must be back by 11-12.
So if you'd like we can do a ride then.

DaveSANYYZ

Why not Tour de Poway again? 1 year first century anniversary. :D

Don't think I'd be back by 11am....:)

Saturday AND Sunday! :D

I have no particular route(s) in mind yet... but I need to get my butt on the bike. Who's in? :D

As an orange countainian and time constrained on Saturday I was debating doing a dash down PCH to Pacific Island Drive, hop onto the bike path at Aliso Canyon, drop off on Moulton Pkwy, hit Shady Canyon then the back side of Newport Coast. Less the 50 miles with some good climbs.

If there are any takers (Tiff), I can attempt to build a bikeroute and would suggest starting at Bonita Park and leaving around 8:00 am.

Bikely.com seems to work...

To avoid traffic on Moulton with NO bike lane might I suggest once on Moulton make a Right on Laguna Hills Dr. Left on Paseo De Valencia, Right on Los Alisos, Left on Muirlands Blvd. turns into Barranca Pkwy, Left on Laguna Cyn back on your route. This is the route we always take coming back from the Oceanside Century. Just a thought:)

Anyone riding in the Santa Monica Mountains Sunday???

I always hated that part of the this route. I'll redraw the route. Plus it looks like it'll put over the 50mi mark. I better print this one out.
