San Juan SS suffer-fest, er I mean group ride

Sauce and I are planning on getting together to SS San Juan on Sat, May 12.

Join us at the lower trailhead (yup, we're so masochistic we're climbing up) at 8:30 am.

SS preferred, but not required. All bikes and riders welcome, as long as you can pedal as fast as I can walk my SS up to Cocktail Rocks 8-[

I'd like to say we're planning on doing the route below, but if for some reason the group is beat we can always head back down after Cocktail.

My SS will probably be rebuilt by then - altho I'm more than happy to take the SJ instead :lol:
The top loop from cocktail is super fun in a clockwise direction

 

No Idyllwild Challenge?

No Toad Fest? :drunk:

Both are that day!

Idyllwild even has a cat for SS, or a longer course option (plus, a discount for Mothers, since it's Mother's Day weekend--a plus for me).

Toad Fest is raising money for Juvenile Bipolar Research Foundation. And, I know that I could benefit from any research into mental health (although the voices are nice to talk to when I'm lonely) :lol:

 

Look, if I'm riding a SS, so are YOU! rotest:

Yeah, from Cocktail Rocks we climb up and then make a right at 4 corners and end up coming back up behind Cocktail. I've never ridden it the other direction.

No, it's tough for us to shell out $60-$100 on weekends for rides. We discussed the Toad Fest, which I'm sure will be a good time, but we can't justify the fees. I know it's not exorbitant and they have prizes and stuff. Not that we don't care, just that for both of us to do the rides/races every weekend we then wouldn't be able to pay off our debt from having bikes

We're gonna keep the racing to a minimum for now also.

Hope everyone has fun doing the other two events as well, though!

 

how about i meet you guys at the top? :lol:

 

That's cool if you don't mind waiting around for us! You better SS down though :bang:

 

hmm... if i ride up friday night on my ss, i'm sure we'll all hit cocktail rocks at the same time #-o

 

My legs might not thank me for this! Anti clockwise from cocktail isnt so much fun and besides I like the challenge of climbing the rocky bits back towards cocktail.

 

I'll be in Idyllwild...it's AMBC and only $20--happy Mother's day to me

But, I want to do a Suffering Singlespeed Saturday (or Sunday) Adventure!!!

 

Nooo! We'll be halfway through our exercise month and I will probably not be able to walk

 

I'm down with that plan!! last time we did that loop it was a blast!! :bang:

 

I'll be there. At the moment, I can't figure out how to RSVP. Whatever!

Who ever doesn't bring a s-s buys post-ride beer!!! Keith, you are so not getting out of this one. You're just affraid I'll kick your ass on the s-s, eh? j/k. Keith is actually really good on his s-s. And with that new Reba fork on it (copy cat), it'll fly.

Oh, I was going to do Idyllwild "Spring Fling," but I realized that would mean I'd be racing like every weekend 6 weeks in a row. Too much. I think I want to keep it to every other weekend ... this summer ... if I can help it. Race burn-out would suck. I can't wait to do a fun group ride; it's been a long time with my training and racing.

Where are you Jeff and Justin? Why have you not RSVP'ed?! Miss you guys.

 

RSVP?? wattaa helL iSS that? aaahhh NM! I got it he he.

 

répondez s'il vous plaît .... its french puto

 

hey nam ... the bmx bike est ici! we gotta do an str bmx ride. with a funny ride report and pics and stuff.

 

Rebuilding the SS tonight......Better than it was before, stronger, faster, better.....or something.
I might ride the B-Star Motorway night ride on it Tuesday night - ulp!

 

Want to bring it out to Noble this coming weekend??

c'mon! Aqua SS's it every Saturday!

 

Already booked for the Fontucky Derby this weekend. I seem to keep missing the dratted Noble! Should have some free weekends coming up for STR group rides though

 

Thats 'Bi-atch' OK?! :lol:

 

nah, there's no pitting at this race. keith is my beer + ibprofen pusher partner in night-riding crime and crazyness. okay, that was a mouthfull ... :lol:
