Road Ride Report Studio City-Temecula

I spent the weekend at the in-laws house for halloween. So what better way to end it by riding home from Studio City.
My route would take me thru Griffith park, Glendale (not a highlite of the route), South Pasadena, Glendora, Pomona, Chino, Corona, and the long awaited climb up Temescal cyn in to Elsinore and the final push to Temecula.
Some how I found a bike path above Monrovia/Irwindale that was nice for a about 5 miles until I had to hit traffic lights again.
The highlight of the route: South Pasadena-Monterey ave. Beautiful homes and big 'ol trees.
The Low of the route: LA roadies are a bunch of A-holes. Numerous attitudes along the way. Maybe because I was passing them on a low level Felt curbside on the hills.
Anyway, can't say I'll look forward to doing it again.
After 7 hrs. and 115 miles, I was done.

 

Sounds like a nice afternoon ride :lol:. Sorry about the tude from the LA guys but I think you'll find it everywhere. I don't let it bother me. And the number one reason I keep my old 9 year road bike is for when I get passed the guys passing me almost always have a more expensive bike then mine. :lol: or for that matter when I pass someone my bike is almost always worth less then theirs.

Yesterday though I led the "A" group back on our ride and when one of the kids went out front for the sprint back I was not only able to match him after pulling the whole way I passed him at 27 mph and held it for almost a half mile. What a ego booster that was! Now I just need to get my climbing legs back.:lol:

 

Looked like a fun ride back...too bad certain roadies have an "better than thou" attitude...especially when you fly by on a lessor bike....Its the rider for the most part..I see it around Temecula too! (they really don't like a mtn bike keep'in pace)

 

That's a helluva ride! Way to go.

Were you all fredded out in shorts and t-shirt? :beer:

I drove down to Murrieta and back yesterday. I can't imagine pedaling it one way.

My hat's off to you for a great effort and a great ride.

Seriously, that is effin amazing.

 

black bibs, black troy lee xc jersey, black pirate socks, no fingerless gloves, no helmet (forgot that at home by accident, oh crap that's the reason I was hated).
Maybe the pirate socks were too punk for the road?

 

^^ If there are NO PICTURES then it didn't happen! :lol:

Shame on you for riding 115 miles without a helmet dood!

You don't have to worry about it because no one is passing you. :lol:
