    one word.

    AWESOME.

    Broken spoke or not.. still a great day!

    felt way better than last week's century, and this one was faaar more scenic.

    The bar on the amtrak was quite rowdy....

    mad props to our fixed geared warriors... (helmetless one too!)

    :lol: Yes I forgot my helmet.. but if I didn't, we wouldn't have been able to experience the 5 freeway!

    I'm going to have to put the brake on for the next ride though, too many close calls today.

    Probably would have been a better ride if you bastards didn't ride so fast!

    Dizle is a freaking machine :bang: I seriously don't know how the F you can keep up the pace for that long on a fixed! props to you.

    Good stuff everyone! Same time next week! Chewy (Lance Armstrong) you in??? :lol:

    Did you guys have any trouble getting on the train with the bikes? There were like 20 of us trying to get on the train at Oceanside going back to Santa Ana, so they opened up a baggage car for us. Is that what they did for you guys? It's always stressful not knowing for sure if they'll be able to accommodate the bikes...

    I may join you for your next century!

    Albacore- My gearing was at 46/16. Seemed pretty good until we hit the Torey Pines climb :lol:

    Luckily we didn't have trouble getting the bikes on the train. There was only 6 of us and they gave us dibs!
