    I've got your cellie so if you want to meet us around San Clemente area I can call you and we can hook up there:beer: a cold beer/bevie would be nice, maybe a breakfast burrito?:lol:#-o
    Can you paint the Element yellow and cover it with extra bikes and wheelsets:lol:??

    That would mean pit stops every 10 miles#-o....IMO that is not how you do a century but what do I know?:)

    Just gimme a time and place and I'll be there.

    No yellow Element. But I will throw some coolers in the back with goodies for you. I'm a on a mission to find some of that Maui Brew Co Coconut Porter..

    I'll throw a few tires and tubes in there too just in case. Hmm, breakfast burritos sound good for a meal for me. May get a few of those too.

    First ride on her was this morning and was on San Gabriel river trail. We started at sealbeach and reached Santa Fe dam by around 11am.

    In total we rode 60 miles but not much climb. But on the way back the head wind was pretty strong.

    Eithere way it was good first road ride for me. She is is very smooth and fast, very nice. Can't wait for another ride!

    Yeah Duke where were you? I was the rolling aide station at Camp Pendleton. And I ended up riding from there to Mission Bay with my jacked up back and all. Of course I was cursing all the way through La Jolla.


    Ahhh, Ice ice baby feels good right now.

    Jason thanks for the ride back dood.

    I was soooo tempted but my legs were a bit toast from saturday. I tried to go as fast as I can but still can only muster 20-21mph average 15-16 mph....i think...my GPS was a bit off. On the way back from santa fe dam the head wind was killer. Still need to fix a few things on the fit and may get a professional fit soon. Anyone know a reall good fitting place? I think the new Spec BG fit looks very good from the video on Youtube.

    Next time for sure I will go!!!!

    And NO I'm not selling it anytime soon Burner!:lol:

    How 'bout we all go eat at Johnny Rebs the night before and get the rib combos, sausages, and Cajun jalapeno poppers. That plus some chamois butter will create a nice juicy tailwind for ya!
