Southern California - Burrito errrr Pizza ride recap

Just got back from the ride, I rode up from oside w/ Frank to 711 off Pico, posed at the coffee shop by there for about 30-40 minutes til the group arrive to 711. From there to Solona Beach was great ride, weather was really nice, I had started with 3 layers at the morning, and got down to one layer back in Oside. From there my legs gave me the OK and had a sweet pull from Carlsbad to Solona beach, roughly 15 miles. Mel was enjoying the draft:D Lunch was at Pizza Port, next to B&L bikes. I parted from the group and U-turned there and headed back to oside, went by fast, less then an hour to get back but a bit slower going north. My ride stats, 4h54min, 85.4miles @ 17.3 average and that was with a hang over, beer cramps and 4 hrs sleep:eek: I'll post my pics later tonight, gonna head to Hooters to finish watchin the charger game

Bring back pictures of nice legs!

Thanks Matt and Mel for organizing the ride!

Also thanks for letting me go on the first train. The train we originally bought tickets for was maximized for carrying Charger fans and could only fit 6 bikes. Everybody else had to wait an additional hour for a train with a baggage car.

I took a wrong turn in La Jolla and rode the remainder of the ride solo. Then I missed the right turn into Mission Bay Park. I kept going straight and noticed that the cars were going really fast. Then I realized that I was on I-5. I made a quick u-turn and got back on track.

It was nice seeing eveyone again and meeting a couple of new riders.

burr it's cold but it DID warm up a bit since start

:beer: Yeah!!!! Pics!!!! I love 'em. You damn good-looking people. Oh, I wish I had come this year (had been able to ride for that matter). You had beautiful weather, and of course, the group looks to be a great one. Glad you guys had fun.

Melissa/Matt - I missed you guys!

I saw that group on Pendleton! I wish I would have turned around!

was a bit smaller group compared to last yr. We had 16 riders at the 711 off Pico/101 and added 2 down at lunch. It was my longest ride on the new bike, the stock saddle is better then the one I had on my last bike.

We got in about 1 hr ago! :eek: It was a great day. It was a great surprise see see Maddmike and Lily arrive this AM. Phil did his casually late thing and told us he would catch up. We had no doubt he would and of course he did. ;)

We rolled a little after 7am. We kept a great pace all day. It was PeanutHB's (Kristin) first century. She did great and kept up and finished strong!:D :beer: Frank, Jeff, Tiff and Ed met us in San Clemente. We met CJ and Rose in Solana Beach and they continued on with us. It was great to see everyone and have some new riders join us! Good to meet Ed and Joseph and ride with you guys.

Yes, I LOVED the pull by Jeff through Carlsbad, Leucadia, into Solana Beach. It was absolutely awesome. Had a blast!!!!:p;) Thanks Jeff you are the best!!!!:love:

It was a great day. Thanks to Phil, Tiff, Voltaire, Cole, Lily, Mike, Dan, Jason, Dave, Ed, Kristin, Joseph, Jeff, Frank, CJ and Rose for joining us on our 2nd annual Burrito Century. Yes, we had Pizza(no burritos) for lunch. Because of the train delay we were not able to go to dinner and enjoy Burritos-- but I am sure we can make up for it next time.;):rolleyes:

Happy Holidays to everyone. See you all very soon.

Mel

edit to add: We will post pictures soon from today and from last nights dinner too!

Last year Burrito Century was my introduction to a BF ride and it was also my first century, so I wasn’t gonna miss this year ride. The group this year is about half (15 riders) the size of last year. A couple of new faces this year, peanutHB, merckx89, eddiewouldgo and Lilly (Maddmike’s lady friend). I Finally got to meet cjbruin and Mrs. cjbruin (Rosie). Had a great time, thank you everyone for making it a memorable day and a special thank to Mel & Matt for putting this ride together. Here are the pics…

great pics, looks like a great ride.
i recognize the bicycle john's kit, I know John and he's got a great bunch of shops!
post up next time you guys do a ride, I'll join :)

I had a great time today (and tonight)! Thanks to Matt & Mel for a good route and for organizing... Good to see everyone, as always!

Thanks, Matt and Mel. Nice to see everyone. It was fun! :D

looks like your ride elevation gain was 10-30ft.

gj noobs

Not true. My computer shows a net elevation gain of -210 ft. :D

Great pics, and great ride. Thanks to everyone who came out for it.

Mel will post our pics later.

Congrats to Kristin on breezing through her first century :beer:

Thanks for the additional photos, Cole. Matt, you and Mel put on a great ride as always. I hope you'll do another rendition during the first part of the year for those of us who, as Efficiency put it, "were full of fail." ;)

I thought you where full of snot, as opposed to fail ME?

Cool pics. That bridge over the San Diego River is part of my lunchtime ride sometimes.

you guys had lunch too? So you're telling me you gained calories on this ride?

jeeezz

jeeezz


You've never done a group century have you?

Great pics!!!

It was a great ride and trying to keep up with Merckx89 and Jsigone all day long left me seriously winded... Thanks to Mat and Mel for putting on another great ride.

That's classic.

I must say that this was one of the best rides that I have ever done. Beautiful weather, well at least after the first hour or so. As others have said, pancake flat, though there was one short little climb near the end. I must say that for those that this was their first or second century, congratulations, that was way faster than my first one. No pics, sorry, i dont have a camera that I carry riding. Only 2 or 3 idiots drivers, which for over a hundred miles i must say is not bad. The only complaint I had was the first conductor on the train coming back could have handled things a lot better, but hey we got home, and it gave us a chance to get some sake and hang out for a little longer, so i guess it wasn't all bad.

For those of you who didn't make it out this time, I strongly recommend coming out next time, it was an amazing ride.
Total stats for the day were: 166.59 miles 6h and 47 minutes and i was somewhere around 5 1/2 hours at the century mark average speed of 17 something.

I see no whip in that picture...

Ah but your missing the tube that Phil's holding on his shoulder.

Thank God I wasn't there! ;) :D

Great pics with a great group of people. Wish I was able to make it. I was hoping to make this a traditional ride so count me in for sure on the Spring Burrito. There is going to be one, right Matt/Mel?

Thanks organizers! And thanks people who paced me along at times!

It was my first ride in a month. :o Felt pretty bad at the beginning. :( Then my legs started coming around and I felt great for a while. :D But I pushed my luck too far and started feeling terrible in the legs. :mad: Then felt decently good by the end. :)

Great pics with a great group of people. Wish I was able to make it. I was hoping to make this a traditional ride so count me in for sure on the Spring Burrito. There is going to be one, right Matt/Mel?

Wish you were there! I think that a spring session can be arranged, or you could just announce one and I am sure many people will join in the fun.
