Southern California - Palomar Dec 2nd @ Sun up

Gonna go up for a quick climb. Leaving Harrahs at 6:15-6:30 at sunup/ 1st light. Quick out and back to the store via south grade. I have to be back at the car by 9am to make it to church on time. Anyone willing to climb with the roosters are welcome to join me. Due to time constrants this will be a quick ride for me, so I plan to be done in about 2 hrs. But you can climb at your own pace even if it's faster then me;)

Dress for cold, it will be about 40* at start time and won't warm up for an hour or so til the sun gets over the south grade.

Meeting location, Harrah's over flow parking lot right next to the Harrah's Sign on the corner of the stop light.

you are a serious gluten for punishment...

So what team are you racing for this year?...what team do i know have to hate on?...

up and down in 2 hrs?

think I'm gonna race with the Ranchos since they are local, 80 mile drive to ride with you guys every week + maybe more will add up for me. Sorry:(

not punishment I don't think....I'm still trying to build a solid base for racing next yr w/o over traning. My weak points are climbs, though I know it doesn't matter for crits but it helps build leg muscles when you climb off the saddle for long periods of time. Helps refine my stroke and builds my quads up for the sprints. I can hold my own on the flats, we get to long rollers or climb and I just suck. I can't seem to drop weight at all, but damn my legs are getting bigger.....

only takes 20 minutes or so to get back to the car;) I can hold 1h 40 up or maybe a bit faster now.

I here ya man....we did the Great western loop on saturday....it's about 55 with 4.5k of climbing...

I was stoked that the only people who dropped me were Ben and Neil Shirley and another guy that has been racing for like 15 years...I finally feel like i am actually reaping the benifits of all the misery i have been going thru on the bike...it still hurts ALLOT but at least iam faster.

My diet basically started this week...i am pretty much a rabbit now...:mad:

I think you'll be more than fine for CAT 5 bro...can't wait to see ya there, congrats on the Team!!

How can you eat a burger during a race?

it's easy when the meat grinder course turns you into one.

you are a serious gluten for punishment...

When did Jeff become a bread protein?


glutton.


Don't shoot me.

I totally dropped a Ranchos guy on Saturday...when he turned right, I just kept going straight and left him eating my rubber.

I doubt you are starting from zero again:D

I love gluten. It makes bread possible.

I'm supposed to be riding in Daley Ranch that Sunday.

^^^ride up to Stanley's Peak if you can, butt kicker hill to both ride up or walk if you must. View from the top is NICE.

Too early and too cold for my thin blood. Any chance of riding later in the day?

I won't get outa church til noon so it's be a late 1-2oclock if possible. I'd rather bang out the ride in the morning though.

did this ride happen? how was it?

nah it was 29* at my house in 5:30 am + rained the night before. I heard there was some small land slides on the road up there as well.

Rain agian this weekend so all plans are jacked up.

bummer :(
be interested to know when you go out next though, might have a car by then!

closest possible date will be the weekend before xmas or next saturday if I don't do a club ride. All depends on weather......
