I think I saw you all. I was taking a long route home from Broadcom near UCI and went through the bike path through Shady Canyon and I think you were all going the opposite way. I was in a yellow long sleeve jersey on a Felt in case you remember passing by. I was thinking to myself what group ride was this and how I wish I could join. However, as I live in San Juan Capistrano, I already had a long ride back.

I'll have to catch the next ride. What time do they leave from SCC?

we leave at 5:30 sharp, people usually start to arrive around 5-5:15. The group has been steadily growing for the past few weeks...its at about 15 riders right now. We hope to see you out there on Wednesday.

OCW offer 30-35 miles T & Th. Can't supply detail, I haven't trained Tues with them since they ended their interval training at Skypark Cr. Anyone know of M or F options?

I remember being passed by a group of OCW's mid-week ride - thought they were a bunch of jerks.

I was doing some intervals and was taking it easy when I heard them coming. I moved to the right (bike lane on city street) and the lead guy yelled 'on your left'. Well, I was pretty much next to the gutter and wasn't going to ride in it. He yelled it again, but this time followed it up with 'get out of the way, behind you'.

Finally when passing, a coupe of people said 'F'n move' and 'coming through'. Whatever, there was maybe only 1 or 2 cars on the road and I was already over, long before they come up on me. Bunch of arrogant *******s, just like I had been warned. I decided to pace them, they weren't even riding that fast.

Shouldn't they have said "on your left," since you were already over as far as you could go (next to the gutter)?

Sorry, that's what I meant to write. Disconnect between the brain and fingers I guess.
