Oh my god. Someone finally lives near me. I go to school in Riverside(UCR) I'll be commuting from Alessandro(Near Mission Grove) and am looking towards getting a commuter(Kona Smoke) and a road Bike(Maybe a Felt F90) if this inland empire ride goes on...maybe i'll participate if it happens on some recurring basis. I was thinkiong about where I could road bike...and all I could think of was Victoria st, all the roads pretty much suck. But yeah.

Well I'm not too familiar with this route but I'll be there. Definately would be more interested in a lytle creek/redlands/riverside ride though.

I've been checking the Western States Ride Calendar for possible conflicts with the BFIE ride.
The Amtrak Century is on Sept 9th.
The Two Forrests ride is on Sept 23rd.
Angeles Crest and the Lighthouse Century are on Sept 30th.
The Smog to Surf is on Oct 14.
The Solvang Double is on Sept 21st.
Sept 16th might still be a little warm out here in Riverside. I think that Sept 23rd, October 7th, 21st or 28th would work out the best with perhaps the fewest conflicts. All these dates are on Saturday. It may be better to plan a Sunday ride.
I'm toying with the idea of a barbeque at my house after the ride. (Talk me into it)

Jim, is this something that should stay with BF, or open it up as an alt ride with RBC?

Ok, looks like 10-7 and 10-28 are out. The problem with moving out the date into November is the risk of rain.

All right, it looks like I'll have to make an executive decision. One of the nice things about living is SOCAL is the many choices there are concerinig organized rides. One of the bad things about living in SOCAL is the many choices there are concerning organized rides. The date of the ride will be (drum roll): November 4th.
The main reason I want to host a ride in the IE was that I had so much fun on the previous BF rides I've been on. I enjoy meeting the people I interact with on BF and I enjoy cycling in new areas. I'm hoping to share that with the other members of BF. The route i've mapped out is a compilation of a few of my favorite local rides. There's some nice scenery and a little bit of climbing. There are three 7-11/Circle K type stops, a park near the top of the Main St climb, and even a Starbucks about 3/4 of the way. Right now there's one half-mile section of the ride that's on a road with a few cracks, but I'm working on a way around that. The level of difficulty is between the SART and the GMR/GRR ride. It's a no-drop ride. I'll be riding sweep.
Remember, November 4th. (Maybe I'll have that new Lemond I've had my eye on by then)

Count me in! Saturdays work well for me, and the course looks good. The Corona Heights area is right around my house.

lsits, I probably won't make it, but it sounds like a great ride. And it looks like your ride might even get endowed with Tour de Sugar Shorts status!

hello
Considering there's a place for a little poseurism (Starbucks) and it's on a Saturday, I'm marking my calendar for this ride...

Great! 2.5 months for me to catch up so I can climb with a little bit more speed.
