SOLO century SUNDAY
I wanted to try this last sunday, but the wind was terrible Sunday stunk. So, I'm gonna try again this Sunday. It's just about 100 miles from my house in Ontario to R.C., over to Glendora, up GMR to the village and back. I may be biting off more than I can chew :eek: but I'll have fun tryin. I guess I'm doing my first century solo for January. Wish me luck. I'm sure I'll need it.

Good luck!!

Were you intentionally hoping to do it solo? If not, there's always this.

Broken link, but I assume you mean this: http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=257008
The ride you set up, but are trying to back out of? That one? ;) edit: oh, sure. go back and fix the link but don't mention anything so I look like I'm crazy... |
Yeah, you could join us for Baldy Challenge. I've done a solo century before, and it's a different experience. (Not better or worse. Different.) So if you want to go at it solo, go for it. :) As suggested to me when I planned mine (especially since I decided to throw in over 10k feet of climbing) having a phone contact to pick you up in case of an emergency isn't a bad idea. (Thanks again, Tracy!) Good luck, have fun, and be safe. :beer:

good luck, scott. I would love to do this ride with you (after I get my allez triple out of layaway) sometime. Let me know.

Have fun out there, Scott. I'm not one to want to ride 100 solo (although technically I have on organized rides, but there were other riders out there who talked to me along the route, so I was never really alone). So, I admire you for doing it. Be safe and have fun! :)

If your ride is still on, I may be able to time my ride to meet you guys at the bottom of GMR. It would be nice to ride with others in the hills. |

P.S. I don't have a BF jersey, but you know what I look like. |

I will admit - my legs will be very tired, but I plan to spin it most of the way. I'll go as far as I can, which is hopefully the village! If for any reason I don't decide to come (I am human, after all), I would call you. Otherwise, I'll see you on Sunday! :)

GOOD LUCK!
I am going to attempt a century the last Sunday of this month, Riverside to Pomona to Corona back Home... should be fun! |

Sounds like a nice ride. :) I might be riding over to GMR sunday morning myself to give it a try or riding out to Huntington Beach on monday morning, either way i'd be starting at home (or my friends place in Rancho Cucamonga). I'm not sure yet, it'll be a short ride one day and a long ride the other. No century for me yet, though the long ride will be about 50 miles with plenty of hills. Or i might just go out to Mt. Rubidoux since it's been a while... Decisions decisions... :D
