SLO to SB 2010

3rd annual SLO to Santa Barbara ride is next Friday July 2nd. If you are planning on riding, please weigh in here on the blog so we have an idea of who's coming. 6am rolling time. Start location is my house (5752 Pebble Beach Way -- SLO Country Club). Those of you who don't have someone picking you up in SB can ride the train back to SLO -- talk to Tim Thuele about this, he's done it for 2 years, I think the train leaves SB around 5:30. Bring a backpack to my house with a change of clothes and a swimsuit (hopefully we can swim at the hotel where I'm staying -- it's a great break after a long ride!!) and my wife will take it to SB for you. Make sure you bring some cash to buy food at the rest stops; Guatelupe, Lompoc, Gaviota(nothing to buy here), and Goleta. The ride ends at the pier in SB, 'no host' pizza after the ride!

"Linked" Cycling retreat - Bass Lake

Here's the deal..... The linked crew from down south and I have planned the second annual cycling retreat, this year in Bass Lake. Lindsey's parents were kind enough to donate their house to the cause and the neighbors gave a discounted rate as well in order to make this affordable for all of us. So in the end we have two large, lake front houses next door to each other and room for up to 40 guys. Between OC & SLO crews combined, we now have 35 committed already, so we have only 5 spots remaining for the SLO crew. Deadline for commitment is July 15th.

The cost will be around $150 ea., which will include the following: The two incredible lake front houses, All meals from Friday Lunch to Sunday lunch, Misc bike stuff for all to use (lube, tubes, cleaners, etc..), wakeboarding (houses have private docks on the water), shuttle service for those interested (there will be a couple "hospitality" guys there that dont even ride, but are willing to help out)........ and so on........

The crew had a great time out in LO last year and this year I think will be even better. It will be an opportunity to ride some incredible trails, meet lots of great guys who love the Lord and like to have a fun time together, dig into the word together, wake board, hike, etc..........

The date of the event is the weekend of Oct 15. We need to know if you are interested in going by July 15th in order to hold a spot, otherwise the evergrowing OC crew is sure to snatch the rest of them up!

Hope to have a good SLO group there this year...... Please comment to the post to express your interest/commitment.

Tuesday Morning Ride

Meet at Grace - 6:00

Out to the end of Montana de Oro and back.

Still need to get some saddle time before the SB ride.

Who's in?

SB Warm-up tomorrow

Just a reminder from the earlier post, doing a warm-up longer ride into North County tomorrow morning. Leaving Grace Church @ 6am mileage will probably be about 80 miles +/- from the Church. This ride is one of my favorites, all kinds of climates, great scenery, inland and coastal -- everything that cycling on the central coast has to offer is experienced on this ride. If you have never done this ride, it's a must do...

Wednesday Sea Canyon to Perfumo.

Meet at the church at 6:30
Back by 830.

Anybody? Leave a comment.
