Rescheduled from 3/16 to 3/22 due to weather.

This is a great ride covering some of the best areas of SD North County. The ride starts in Oceanside and heads down the coast to Solano Beach.
It turns east via Rancho Santa Fe/Del Dios to Escondido and continues out to Lilac Road, Couser Canyon and Rice Valley. It returns Oceanside via Fallbrook and Bonsall. I originally based it on an abbreviated version of the SD 200K brevet, but I asked Grumpy Pig to share some of this North County expertise to improve the route. So if the route sucks we can blame him.

When: Saturday, March 22

Where: Oceanside Amtrak Station Parking Lot, South Tremont Street, Oceanside

Start: Meet at 7:30, roll at 8:00

Route: https://www.geocities.com/grumpypig/O...de_Century.pdf

Speak up boys and girls. Who's in?

Cool! I'm in!

It's sunny right now.

What's your point?

I love weather forecasts.

But are you in? You have the opportunity to redeem your previously lameness..

I am in for sure

Maybe. A firm maybe.

Lameness still persists for another week.

We will be there on the Machiatto and a good friend of mine will be on his C'dale tandem as well.........

Such lameness... it's overwhelming... I don't know what to say...

Two tandems. Excellent. If my math is right that's four people!

Ride away, lest you be infected with my lameness.

I'm a maybe, might be working on my car next weekend if my parts come in

I'm in if my back doesn't hurt too much by then. I guess this makes me a "maybe". Please ignore my post in the old thread, I've been blind.

Kim just phoned me to tell me about this ride, but I'll be flying back from Seattle late on Fri. evening, so I'll have to have my act together and be somewhat awake.

Which makes me a possible maybe. Chuck Bramwell has a ride up Palomar (and beyond) that day too so I have to decide. That one starts in Oceanside too.

I admire decisiveness.

Maybe depending on work work.

Guys, I'll bail out. I feel better, but not 100% and I think a 100-miler will be too much. I think I'll do the club rides this weekend - shorter and closer to home. Sorry about that, I was really looking forward to this ride.

I'm out too.

I updated the routeslip and will put it on my website by tomorrow afternoon.

Today I drove over major portions of the route. I've done 6 centuries in the past 9 months, but this one is clearly out of my league. If I were 20 years younger and rode a bike that was great at climbing there'd be no question.

It is a beautiful ride, that's for sure. I hope you guys have a great time.

You bail you fail.

I haven't ridden since last Saturday, I'm fried from a stressful week at work and am probably not ready for this at all.

But I'm doing it anyway. I will see who materializes tomorrow AM and we'll go from there.

Negative. Relatives in town.

I'm downgrading from a "maybe" to a "no", sorry Dan.

Still at work.

I worked a half day today. Looks like you're working my other half.
