We can do the Imperal valley race in the desert on the 9th (saturday) and Pie Ride Sunday

imperial valley? isn't that like 150 miles away?

yah......Brea is alot closer.....it's about 90 miles from Esco....

it does look like a fun course, though.

Imperial is a figure 8 like course, my race director said a strong rider can stay away

Fiesta Island Time Trial on the 10th too.

I can only do the 11th this weekend.

I can only do the 11th this weekend.Isn't that a Monday?

Isn't that a Monday?

Doh, I meant the Saturday - the 9th. Rough day.

Woohoo! Looks like we've got good weather this time! :D I plan to at least head out to pie with you all, and then reevaluate based on how I'm feeling. I might turn around and ride Pie Lite if I'm struggling by then.

I'm interested, but can't find anyone to drive down with me. Maybe the next Palomar ride...

I can go up to drive you down, but then you might have to ride home after the main ride. :p

I think this is going to be a great ride, and I'm always right about these things.

This is going to be my first time doing the Pie Ride! Bailed 2x before and 1x due to rain. I'm very excited! :D

Awesome! Thanks in advance to the very nice person! :beer:

Don't encourage him :p

Thanks to the very nice person! :D

I'm in.

Cool, a nice person. Don't find those people much 'round these parts.

Due to finacial crap, I can't afford to race this month, though I already paid for sunday's race. So count me in for this ride. I MAY turn back after Pie, pending how I feel and if this sickness slows me down.

There's still a few days before Sunday. Hopefully you'll recover by then. :)

thanks, I hope to get better, I might do the club ride saturday morning, kinda short, only 45 miles and not too much climbing. I'll know after that ride if I can tough out a 100 the next day.

Bump.

Any last minute suckers?

Looking forward to seeing everyone. Thanks to our "nice person" for SAG (you are AWESOME!:beer:). We are heading down to SD tonight (got a hotel.:D). We have some goodies for the SAG vehicle....for everyone to snack on during rest stops!

See you all in the morning!

M and M

considering joining... depends on how much I drink tonight... :D

If you see me at the start, then I am a participant... but if you don't see me then I am either late (as usual) or not showing up...

You drink too much all the time, but the Pie Ride only comes once in a while. Why don't you violate everyone's expectations and show up on time - just to mix things up of course.

I've been a sucker for WEEKS.

Hey everyone! Finally have my internet hooked up after moving last weekend...
I'm looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow and being able to support the ride.

I'll have a 3-bike trunk rack, a bunch of water, a couple canisters of powdered drink mixes, some energy bars, first-aid kit and anything else I think of between now and then.

Here's your last chance to make/ask for any specific requests and give tips to this newb SAG driver! :D

Will see you all tomorrow bright and early!

Instead of bright & early, make that... I'll see ya at o'dark thirty! Damn... that's early! :eek:

Bring a couple of pounds of foie gras please.

And a bottle of Nature's Miracle or Febreze. IanInSD sometimes won't stop for pitstops and that can cause a few problems.

Early and cold.

it will warm up quick like it did today.

Have Fun Tiff... AND take lots of butt pics out the window ;)

Be safe and have a great ride out there guys!!! You are probably all already there. I hope to see pics when it's all said and done. :)

I think I should try riding regularly before the next time I attempt a very hilly century (or 96-miler, as the case may be). That said, I did finish the ride, and it was a fun time for all (as far as I could tell, anyway).

For me, today's ride was an exercise in riding intelligently. Very careful and disciplined pacing. Riding rather efficiently. Knowing the course well and making the few hard efforts really count. And, of course, it was also a great day out on the bike.

Thanks Frank for organizing, and thanks Tiffanie for driving SAG.
