    Rachel, I can call you, I need to be sure I actually wake up when I get up. I got your number from the DG thread.

    dB, rain or shine, come on, show up for this one.

    I'm moving to maybe. May have some sniffles. I'll set the alarm but no promises.

    No idea. I figure if I've got the whole day to ride and I'm already up that early and on the bike I might as well keep riding.

    When we're done I'll find some breakfast then figure out what I'm doing then. Not that familiar with OC bike lanes besides PCH and SART. Maybe another 20 miles pending weather.

    What a great ride today! We saw a coyote and had creek crossing and 1 little crash and some close calls and we were on a road ride.

    The sunrise was spectacular. No better way to start the day.

    Thanks Rachel and Darin

    My car said 40 degrees at the start and 49 at the finish. Rachel and I were bundled, Darin was shorts and t shirt. We were all comfortable. It's all about the gear

    Man, what a cool couple of gals to get to ride with!
    I kept up pretty good for most of the ride, but there were a couple of times where they turned the rockets on. :lol:
    I'm pretty sure they took it easy on me the entire ride. :clap:

    I'm looking forward to next week. Maybe hit the Canyon Loop again, or if somebody knows a good SART route, or Shaddy Canyon, I'd be into it.

    Thanks again to Nan and Rachel for showing up!

    I woke up around 4:50 or so, laid in bed and guiltily thought of all the reasons not to go ride at such a freeken early ride. Then my phone rang. While I did quite roll onto the floor then up on my feet in time to answer, it did force me out of the warm covers--the much needed first step to making the ride.
    Turns out, it was a beautiful start to the day.

    Let me start by saying, Maxwell is a bit stronger than he lets on. Riding with just one gear, he worked up pretty good in some sections.

    Nan missed mountain biking so much that she veered into a planter just to taste dirt. She's quite the skilled rider, hopping back onto the bike path without incident.

    I learned that you should never fiddle with your front brake while riding on wet roads, especially over rail road tracks. It seems that laughing at Nan's little adventure only brought a bit of self-induced karma back onto me; I prefer to think of it as sacrificing myself to the crash Gods for the good of the group. After all, I was with "Crash" Maxwell ;)

    I have to admit, as much as I do not like mornings, there is nothing like watching the sunrise, the glow of morning flowing over the darkness to illuminate the mountains and sea, while atop a bike. Thanks for the ride!!!
