Saturday roadie

Looking for about 3 hours in the saddle on Saturday with mixed terrain, so would like to head out Orcutt to Lopez Lake and Hi Mtn Road for 1.5 hours, then turn around and head back. 7 a.m. start at Grace. Can also pick up guys en route. Appreciate some company.

Santa Barbara ride

Last reminder about the Santa Barbara ride. Friday June 17 leave my house at 6:30am sharp. Mileage is about 110 miles, some climbing on the route but it's not super tough. Make your own arrangements for the return (train or someone picking you up). We will make 4 stops on the way down: Guatelupe, Lompoc, Gaviota, Goletta. Bring $ to buy food, bring any bars or gels you think you'll need in addition. If you are planning on coming then respond to this blog.

Solvang TT - May 20

If you wish to join, a ride is planned from AG to Solvang on the day of the time trial in Solvang. The ride is approximately 70 miles. First half flat, and the second half bumpy. The ride start is 7am. Many of the riders will be hanging with their families at the time trial and enjoying the ToC scene. So the return trip will be determined upon the interest by other riders and your response to this post.

The Solvang TT stage is a great way for cycling enthusiasts to witness the color of the race and really see what goes on in the support of the pro cycling field. You will see equipment and team support that is world class. Not to mention see a very pivotal stage in the race.

For some of you that require a shower in the end, you may pay for a shower head at the local YMCA. For those more manly types, you can wipe down in the parking lot and load and lock your gear. Not sure of the interest at this point, so will not leave those details until we hear some responses.

So far, Rudy Bachmann, Korey Carroll, and yours truly are riding. Let me know if you are interested.

If you read this, pray for the safety of my father (Jeff) who is one of the lead moto marshalls in the race for the entire stage race. He leaves Friday for Tahoe, CA for his 5th tour contribution. Thankful for all their dedication to keeping the road safe for these riders...

Take care all,

Saturday roadie

Hi all: Tim graciously invited me to post, so here goes: 6:30 a.m. roll out from Grace. South on Higuera-Ontario to Pismo. Up Price Canyon to Highway 227. Those who want to break off can head back to SLO. Those who want more can go up Corbett Cyn. Second chance to break off at Tiffany Ranch, or keep going on Corbett to Lopez Lake Drive. Those in for the long haul can come back to SLO via Orcutt.
The more in the peloton, the better!

Thursday Quickie

I'm going to hit the MTB for an hour or so at 7:15 AM after the Thursday morning study at 6:00. Its going to be a beautiful morning, if anyone wants to join me. I can watch your back, since I haven't been on a bike since India or maybe the 1st of the year. Yikes!
