That is 12/15

I need to get some base miles in and I want to keep my distance miles up.
So tombunn and I are rolling from Encanto at 8:30 down to Seal Beach and back.

Of what is this Encanto of which you speak?

[DaveSANYYZ]

Encanto Park in Duarte. It's also the starting point for some of the BF GMR rides:

Thanks Dave....
Its a really central meeting place for lots of rides...
GMR, Mt Baldy, up hwy 39 - down SGRT...

Do you ride there from Burbank?

[herbm]

Do you ride there from Burbank?

I don't, but ME, Scoot and others have ridden there from the valley and the Rose Bowl...

[curiouskid55]

Was looking for something other than Big T, Angelels Crest, Montrose, Grind, to ride tommorrow but that may be too ambitious. It's about 60 round trip on the trail to the beach? I wonder how far it is from Burbank to Encanto? 50 mile round trip, too much for me. 110 total Have fun Herb.

What a great ride....cold to start..but warmed up nicely..lots of riders out...
and I didn't loose anyone this time...
true it was only tom and I, but still...the past rides always lost someone...maybe the curse is broken!
Tom did great... set a pb for distance...

[thomson]

Outstanding Tom and Herb!!

Congratulations on your PB Tom!!

[sshakari]

Congrats guys. I saw this thread too late as I needed the base miles as well.

Thanks Jim and Serg
I really needed it...I need to do this again to keep my base miles up....
short climbing rides are good, but I really need to do distance as well...
There will be more!

[tombunn]

Outstanding Tom and Herb!!

Congratulations on your PB Tom!!

Thanks, Jim. It was tough at the end, but very rewarding. As Herb said, a great ride. And he was great too and very patient - and DIDN'T LOSE ME.

I owe u for lunch also!!! Dont let me forget!!
Are you up for a recovery ride with SFVBC tomorrow?

[tombunn]

We'll see. :) By the way, in an emergency I can clean a rotating VTR head with my fingernail. So many memories - hadn't thought about that in years.
