I had a great time on the Solvang Double, driving a SAG vehicle, helping riders fix flat tires, pouring out lots of water into bottles, raising a seat post 1/8" for one rider and keeping riders on the course.
Saw Curtis and Dante from this forum, lots of other friends too!
Sorry I couldn't ride it, but it was good to spend the day helping out.

My wife is riding Hemet, I don't think Lou is (she's moving into a new house that weekend). I am on the fence at the moment, due to my back pain.
I rode 30 flat miles yesterday evening and had some back pain, but it was bearable. So maybe with lots of Motrin, I could complete Hemet. Maybe I'll try cause it's easy to call it a day after one 100 mile loop on that double.

Yes if I don't ride I'll definitely work the ride. Whether I SAG or work a checkpoint though, I don't know and I won't (probably) until I get there Fri. evening. Jackie and I will be staying out in Hemet at the Motel 6 (Hemet Double Headquarters) Fri. and Sat. nights.

afternoon.
I can usually do these easy doubles without any pain. It kinda messes with my head to start one in pain.
