yeah that's what I was thinking and would need to do in order to get to work on time!

maxwell · 02-02-2010, 10:13 AM

It'll be the first time, in a real long time that I've done this, so who knows, maybe 2 hours is doable for me.

Like I said, if I'm going too slow, you guys won't hurt my feelings by taking off. Just being able to meet up with folks for the ride is motivation enough for me to actually get out and do it.

jeff^d · 02-02-2010, 05:41 PM

I would like to join one of these eventually. Just started a job in Santa Ana, I'd join tomorrow but I'm training this week and need to be at work by 7am. Maybe my schedule will be more flexible in the future.

maxwell · 02-02-2010, 05:48 PM

Anyone's free to join us in the morning...... Too Freak'n Early Road Ride

Hugh, I'm gonna bring my tow rope!

HUGH · 02-03-2010, 03:49 AM

Who gets up this early to ride

??? And who the hell still gets a papper. Some lady in a shot out S 10 slingin papers decides she wants to chat while I'm getting ready! I had to close the garage on her and go inside

You shouldn't have closed the garage door on me

Hope your day gets better.

Ashlie just glared at me when I asked if she wanted to join one of the rides, but maybe I can motivate myself to get up one of these days.

maxwell · 02-03-2010, 08:55 AM

So, I gotta say thanks to Hugh for two reasons......

Reason one, for RSVP'ing that yes, he'd be there.
That was reason enough for me to stay motivated, and get out of the house this morning, and go ride to The Path.

Reason two, for NOT showing up!

Man, you don't know how worried I was that I was going to have to blow myself up early just to keep you in sight. I was so relieved when I got there, running 5 minutes or so late myself, and Hugh wasn't there waiting for me.

I went ahead and did the Santiago Canyon Loop that I'd planned on. And on the very first hint of a climb on Newport, I knew that it was gonna be rough.
I'd done the loop before, but that was a while back, and on my Kona PHD. It was light at just 23 pounds, and had gears.

Lots of gears!

My road bike now is my converted Kona Kaboom single speed.

It's still fairly light at just 26 pounds, but man, oh, man.....the gearing, 48X16, feels like it's gonna make my head go KABOOM every time the hills point UP!

I felt like turning back at least more than once, but I'm hard headed, so I pushed on and finished it.

And now I'm ready for BED!

Here's the numbers off of my GPS... http://connect.garmin.com/activity/23857539

Distance: 35.32 mi

Elevation Gain: 1,812 ft

Time: 02:32:37

So, who's in for next week?

Dizle · 02-05-2010, 07:18 AM

Man that is just way to early/cold for me to be on a bike! You must have a lot of motivation, good job!

maxwell · 02-05-2010, 09:11 AM

I'm going to set up another one for this next Wednesday.
I'm gonna bump the meeting time up to 6am though, instead of 5:30. I was rushed to get there, after working a little over.

I'd like to hit the Back Back loop. Maybe ride from The Path over to the back of Peter's Canyon, and do the entire Mountains to The Sea bike path.

Or if Nan wants to meet us, she can show us the climbing route though the Tustin hills.

maxwell · 02-05-2010, 09:59 PM

OK, here's next weeks ride..... here I go again

The route could be subject to change, but the meeting time and place it solid!

I gotta get some miles in! Come join me!

GeorgiaOfTheJungle · 02-06-2010, 09:18 PM

IF I drug my sorry arse out of bed, could I bring a real road bike? Would you laugh and point at me if I was on a real road bike, yet you still kicked my arse?

Sweetie, you bring your "real' road bike, and while I'm huffing and puffing trying to keep up, I'll be thinking real hard about the Kona Honky Tonk that I've been eyeballing!

If I can convince you that road bikes rule, do I get a part of the commission?

I'll set my alarm and rest up for the ride.

Pho'dUp · 02-06-2010, 10:03 PM

I've seen that one in the Path. If I didn't already have a roadie I'd snap that up quick!

Chewyeti · 02-07-2010, 11:18 AM

down tube shifter for darin? could turn into a CRASH ride

I'll see if I can come into work late one of these wednesdays

maxwell · 02-07-2010, 01:03 PM

We pedaled from The Path this morning, and did the Back Bay Loop that I have planed for Wed.

It was pretty fun, and a lot easier on the Kaboom than the Canyon ride was.

I'll put up a little RRR "roadie ride report" in the morning.
Right now it's time for a pre-work nap.

maxwell · 02-09-2010, 05:45 AM

BUMP for tomorrow morning's ride.... here I go again

Bring a light, and a jacket!

GeorgiaOfTheJungle · 02-09-2010, 02:04 PM

Rain or shine, right????

I have my rain booties ready! Can someone call me around 0500, to get my sorry arse up?

davidB · 02-09-2010, 02:13 PM

In for tomorrow, if it's not raining

Will probably do some extra credit after the ride as the weather window seems to be closing.
