Just how rough is it? I know it's tough to qualify it...rough as in you wish you were on an mtb? Paris-Roubaix cobbles? Ballard Canyon in Santa Ynez Valley? ]]> Southern California bikeme https://www.bikeforums.net/southern-california/1319979-wildflower-century-rough-section.html https://www.bikeforums.net/southern-california/1319934-you-going-olympics.html Sat, 11 Apr 2026 16:28:09 GMT I've been hearing from friends, reading news articles and the basic buzz seems to be the ticket prices are way out of control. Below is a brief clip from an email from my brother...


"So I got my time slot for purchasing Olympics tickets… Man are they expensive! Nothing less than $100, and most things $300 or so. Decision made: sorry, we’ll skip the LA games. I wasn’t even slightly tempted. I mean, $1100 for Track and Field. We went to the final night in Paris where multiple gold medals were awarded and paid about €300 each. And they were excellent seats!" ]]> Southern California TakingMyTime https://www.bikeforums.net/southern-california/1319934-you-going-olympics.html https://www.bikeforums.net/southern-california/1319818-finally-got-out-did-some-miles.html Tue, 07 Apr 2026 12:41:57 GMT I'd been stuck in a rut or 25 to 28 mile rides twice a week for the past couple of months. Yesterday I was able to do 46. It was a pretty big jump and I'm a little sore this morning, but glad I did it. Rode from El Dorado Park down to the Wedge in Newport. Just slow and steady (bike paths and back streets). ]]> Southern California TakingMyTime https://www.bikeforums.net/southern-california/1319818-finally-got-out-did-some-miles.html
