I think I saw part of this ride on my way to San Diego yesterday. We were on our way to a graduation ceremony, but she knew I was envious of all the bicycles I saw enjoying the wondeful weather.

BTW, Michelin Krylions are great. Rolled over a broomstick on the way back from Ramona and nothing happened. Don't know why there's a broomstick in the middle of nowhere though.
[EDIT] Forgot to mention, just like in all my previous centuries, the party is already over by the time I cross the finish line (2:50pm). My new goal is to finish one before the party ends.

I TOTALLY remember that broomstick 'cuz I was thinking the same thing!
I was the Red Cliff Bar Jersey and bib shorts...and a black Scattante road bike.
8:07:28 total, 6:27:30 riding, avg 16.1 mph....I rolled into MCC at 2:10pm... Why does Motion Based say I climbed around 7k? I don't think that's correct... pretty uneventful finish line, if ya ask me...I rode 105 some miles and all I get is a freakin' purple bracelet?!?!.. oh.. and the socks... The BEST thing I got I had to pay for: the Jersey and the experience of riding the uncharted roads of San Diego! whoopie...
BTW... weather yesterday was 62.6F high.

Congrats on the finishing, it was my first as well.

Fashion faux pa? My helmet has a visor and reflective stickers. My shifters are currently not matching because (the left one is a Tiagra and the right one is an Ultegra) because the bike shop loaned me one because the original one was faulty and needed a warranty replacement, which they didn't have in stock.

ABA goes really down really well after 3 or 4 DDH Levitations. You just can't start off with it, unless you really are an arrogant bastard.

I am actually not a fan of the beer either but the Jersey is cool and it supports local business so thats cool.
