SD North County Century - March 16th
OK, I'm calling this canceled. It looks like the weather may end up improving during the day, but it's still too dicey to be stuck out on a long ride in a cold rain. Rescheduled for March 22.
I posted an interest thread about this in January and there seemed to be enough interest to do it. 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: Sunday March 16th
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
Elevation: 5-6K ft
Food Post-ride pig-out in Oceanside TBD
Speak up boys and girls. Who's in?
IN:
Indolent
Grumpy Pig
robertkat
chaco
JimmyNH
Dave SANYYZ
igoyippy4skippy
MAYBE: (no excuses, Oceanside is as close to el-ay as you can get without being el-ay)
jsigone
shnuddy (hangover permitting)
efficiency - indecisive lamo
OUT: Don't bother posting. You are dead to me. You hear me? Dead!
jschen - WUSSORAMA!

I live in fallbrook and know all the roads around here I strongly suggest that you not ride reche. That road has no bike lanes and poeple tend to drive a little crazy on that road. If you could I would say take east mission from the I 15

Are you guys all hammerheads? I can keep up with about a 16 mph pace on a century, but not much better than that.

yeah avoid reche if at all possible. If you really want to do reche you can go up to east mission take a left of live oak and take that to reche. From that point reche actually has a bike lane and live oak will be a slight downhill the only problem with that is trying to cross east mission. If you need the extra miles that is. I am in but i will be only riding to fallbrook since I am going to ride from fallbrook to the meet point at the train station.

Hey Dan,
Any chance to change the start time to 8:00 AM? The daylight saving time begins on March 9, so 7:30 AM will feel like 6:30. On top of it I've got a party on the 15-th. Shnuddy's got a party too, so I'm sure she can also benefit from a later start. And I'm sure a later starting time will be more convenient for people coming from further north.
By the way, do you know what the climbing will be on this route?
