I Have What Every Clyde Wants! I Am The Envy!
Only cause my Athena can hang with the boys!
Our lil ride on Sunday. A 30 miler. She's also done a few 72's and an 84 along with the group. Life is sweet when the Lil Missus hangs with the boys!
Maybe a century sometime soon?

You are indeed a lucky guy.
What kind of a pathway are you riding on? It looks like a old road thats been re-lined with bike lanes and shoulders. I've never seen any simular to it.

It's a path but this short section is the top of the Santa Fe Dam. I've never seen any vehicles up there but sure there are maintenance trucks and such. Down the way there is a booth used for entry fees into the recreation area below. So could have been used as a road before , maybe another entrance to the park. But it's a very short section, about a mile maybe. The rest of the path is the usual type trail.

I'm happy for you that you have someone so compatible to love and be loved by.
I'm not going to get jealous tho because I am quite happy with my foxy Athena chick!
My Becky rides, cooks, and snuggles like no other.
She helped me pick out Eagle, encouraged me to spend the dough, kicks me in the massive butt if I go too long without riding...
I am content.

Out fishing with Annie on his lap, a cigar in one hand and a ginger ale in the other, watching the sunset.

Mr. beans how many miles is the SF Dam?
Mr. beans, I am just south of the SF Dam in whittier area, but I have never ridden the top of the dam. I have ridden up along the 605 bike path to the dam though.
Just curious how many miles around the entire dam area?
Great to learn of other local rides.

But nope, never been around the entire dam top. Only learned about a month ago that it did go around. One guy mentioned that it would add about 3 more miles if we went the opposite direction on the return. My guess would be 4 or 5 miles but that's just a guesstimate!
If you asked in the SoCal forum, I'm sure someone would know. A few locals from that area!

I'd like to get out on casual rides with her every once in awhile, but I also like the quiet time spent riding alone (Women ride to talk, not to ride).
