I'll be at the PU ride. Look for the tall guy on the black recumbent.

Great day for a century, with a phenomenal group of riders. Big John, valleygirl, zzzwillzzz, vertical bob, and cassave were all in attendance (am I forgetting anyone who is on here?). Cassave (who is a machine) even wore his socal BF jersey! Will was taking some photos, so hopefully managed a jersey sighting pic.
Very fun century... even if all the climbing was backloaded!

Don't forget scv roadie and ronsmithjunior. The climbing was hard because the wind had taken my legs away. It was cold up on top of the hills. A lot of people had flats. Tracy has to be the cutest sag driver I've ever seen, and a delight to talk to.

John, if your legs were toast, when we started up encinal my legs were burnt toast. I don't know what happened. I guess it was just one of those days. Up to that point, I was feeling great, riding well. Then I had no juice in my legs and my stomach was upset. Every hill after encinal was a major effort. I loved the descent down Rock Store.

The winds coming through Los Posas and PCH were wicked.
Stopped and fixed my friends flat 2 times. He got one front flat on PCH right before Neptunes Net and then procedded to pinch flat his rear less than 2 blocks later. By the time I got to Encial (After my 6 mile re-route ), I was feeling ok from my tire changine pit stops.
At the top of Encinal I thought I was home free, until the rollers on Decker and Mulholland with their massive gradients at times
The descent down Mulhollad was great. Recharged my legs and got my second wind. Sprinted home down Agoura and Mureau.

into the nasty headwind on our way to point magu
the wave vance, caren, big john, sarah (behind john), vertical bob, and andy

Thanks for the great snaps, Will. I now have proof of my first semi-official event.
And you even managed a socal BF jersey sighting!

That was a nice ride, a bit chilly up on Decker Canyon but still all good.
It was nice to meet those of you for the first time (Scvroadie and awiner) and always good to see the familiar faces.
Last week it was a cracked crankset, and Sunday, cleaning up the bike I noticed that the rear hub has a badly cracked flange. This is getting expensive!

Holy smokes, +1.

We were talking about your recumbent and there was another guy with us on a bike with Power Cranks that he was telling us about.
Was that you ?
