    Sound fun, count me in! Depending on the pace, I may have to pull off early. My son has little league try outs in the early after noon. Either way, I'll be there in the AM.

    Thanks Todd. Right now it looks like I'm hitting the dirt.
    I didn't know it until today, but my buddy is here from Washington.
    So, I've gotta decide whether to go to the Blackstar thing, or get with Bill and go ride with him, since that only happens once, or twice a year.

    You guys have a great ride!

    64 miles, 3k+ ft of climbing. Good times!

    Was still a bit sore from a big ride yesterday, but man is it so much better to ride with a group like that.

    We had 11 of us do the loop at a pretty decent pace. :bang:

    I just wanted to ride with people, so I take no credit for this ride. I merely asked if anyone was planning on riding so I could tag along. This ride ended up having the perfect amount of everything.

    It was a pretty hard ride but now I just looked and it was almost the same as the Vegas ride. My legs were ready to give up last 20 miles.

    But I only hit 47.5 mph.

    It was great having you and Kelly out for this ride.

    Riding the road is quite the adventure. I had a lot of anxiety anticipating this ride. I get nervous in traffic and it got a little squirrelly in CDM area. Had a near miss while drafting, I think I alerted all the dogs in the area with my high pitched scream. No one else panicked and it was all good.

    The ocean was all in its winter glory and spectacular. It was a great day to be on the bike. Even better just being outdoors in the sunshine.

    I have my tire lever in a safer position now. I call it the Nan protector position.

    Maybe we should buy these brake lights. Pretty cool!

    Had a great time today. I am glad all of you made it out. It was a great group.

    Only hit 49.4mph :-(

    Mark, let me know when you want to schedule the rematch and I will tag along.
