anybody want to go cruise around for a bit, maybe around 11?

A bit sore from yesterdays ride and i busted my knee on a panic skid-to-moronic-fallover. Otherwise id be there.

ugh, sorry to hear that.

are you and silly doing the metric century fixed?

Its just a little soreness and abrasion, thankfuly no real damage.

Yeah (metric), we rode about 50 or so miles yesterday without much issue, so it think 62 will be no problem.

We're probably going to go ride a bit in a little while. I'm a little sore today too and feeling lazy, so probably not anything too far or fast...

i'm in the same boat, my quads are hurtin' from yesterday.

when/where you going, and do you want company?

whats the plann?

we should go check out the gay pride parade.

sorry, i drank too much coffee and started cleaning my house, i'm gonna try to get out later this afternoon, prolly around 2:00 - 3:00

I will be at South Park (SOMA) at 2pm. Planning on doing a nice mellow industrial ride.

sounds good.

Cool! See you there.

Are there many hills along the ride you took? I did the Giro metric (not fixed) because I had to get back for my daughters dance recital. Not too bad but some of the hills would be a tough go on a fixie.

You have the Sausalitio hill and a nice rolling section on paradise loop. Other then that not really, its not too bad. Not sure if any of you guys have ridden paradise loop but that road rocks. I think the first mile or two you have some rolling hills with some minor climbs, the next 5 miles, its rolling hills and more descents nice turns and little traffic. I think we would have a great time flying through there.

The fun starts after Paradise Cay, you can pretty much keep up with or go the speed of traffic, so we just took the full lane.



here is the elevation change

here is more about the ride.

Where we went today:

Hunters Point Naval Shipyard

Groundwater, sediments, soil, and surface water are contaminated with fuels, pesticides, heavy metals, PCBs, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Soil also contains asbestos. A landfill located on Parcel E also contains radium dials. People who accidentally ingest or come in direct contact with contaminated soils, sediments, surface water, or groundwater may face a health risk. Potential threats may also be presented by off-gas from VOCs, particularly vinyl chloride, present in hot spots in soil and groundwater. Various radionuclides, primarily radium 226 and cesium 137, have also been found at the Shipyard. The Naval Radiological Defense Laboratory program operated at Hunters Point Shipyard from the 1940s to 1969.

That place was awesome!
