Saturday morning MTB ride_10.17

Meeting at my house, departing at 7am

I will have coffee waiting if you would like to show up at 6:30 to warm up before the freeze!

Route: Up Stage Coach, down shooters to tracks, across to Red Dog - back up Shooters, over to Morning Glory and down all the way back home.

This is Ride #1 towards Sea Otter base training. Crash and I are doing the race and it is a 20 mile course. Therefore, goal is to get in a ~20 mile ride. (I am guessing at this being about 20 miles?)

Hope to see some of you guys manana!

Roadie Sat morning

Meet at Grace at 7:30 a.m. and head to Price Canyon and Pismo Beach before heading back via Ontario. Optional attack on Indian Knob for those wanting more work.

Save Nov. 14 for a long ride*

Fall is here, and the current heat wave not withstanding, crisp air, early sunsets and cold mornings are on the way. So, better get in one last long ride of the year. Here's your invitation: On Monday, Nov. 14, Hobbit and I plan to head up the Grade to Santa Margarita, do the A-town rollers and wind up on Vineyard Drive. From there, intersect Highway 46 and climb up and over to Highway 1, then back to SLO. A moderate pace means an enjoyable, fellowship filed 90 miler. And as Doc points out, this route lets one experience every good part of SLO County scenery.
You know you want to do it! Yes, it's a Monday, but the boss will give you one day!

(Rain will likely cancel, but this is a La Nina year so hopefully it is dry).

*An officially sanctioned Linked Cycling SLO event!

Prefumo on Sat

Last week we had a great stretch-it-out ride to Cayucos and back. Tomorrow let's do some hill climbing. Meet at Grace at 7 and after nice warmup to Prefumo, hit the mountain. At the top, 2 options: Go over and head through See Canyon and back to SLO (my preferred), or back down Prefumo only to ride back up again like a madman!
Hope to see you.

Cayucos roadie on Saturday

7 a.m. at Grace, roll to Cayucos and back -- coffee in town optional for those with time. Otherwise, heading straight back. Hope to see you!

Sunday Ride Pre-Fall Kick-Off September 25th

Hey gang, anyone interested in riding road tomorrow morning? Say 7:00 am meet at Grace, ride hwy 1 to Whale Rock and back. 40 miles, should be under two hours. Or... hammer Perfumo twice. I am interested in one or the other, let me know if you are interested. Otherwise I may be lazy and ride after lunch.

Roadie on Sat -- Ormonde and Noyes

Would love to ride from Grace at 7 a.m. out to Ormonde, up that lovely incline, down to Noyes, then up that less lovely steep pitch and over to Highway 227 and back to SLO. Or elsewhere in that neck of the woods. Would love to do it with someone!

Saturday morning road ride_9.17

Hey guys...... been a while since we have a good showing for a group ride. Lets rally, get out there and catch up with each other! Tomorrow morning, 7am, meet at Grace Church.

We'll do the two route option where you can join for first half and cut off or go long if you want.

I suggest we head up towards Cayucos and the short route could be Turri loop.

Comment if you are in so we know to expect you

Friday Ride September 9th?

Is anyone interested in riding tomorrow morning? I have the day off and would be interested in riding. I am flexible on the time, I know most rides have been going out at about 7 am, which is fine. Comment back if you are interested in a roadie, or mountain ride.

The fall roadie campaign begins

School is back in session, politics is heating up, time to ride. Hoping to get a group at Grace at 7 a.m. Saturday for a nice two-hour roadie. Show up then and there if you are all in.

Roadie, anyone?

I would like to ride on Saturday, but have a tight time frame -- 7 to 8:30. Reply if you are interested. If no one wants to, I'll sleep in.

Also: I am writing a story for Friday's Trib on the end of Team Highroad. Owner Bob Stapleton told the cycling press today he could not line up a new sponsor and he cannot compete economically anymore with the new "super teams" that have twice as much money to throw around. Sad news. Highroad will disband after this season.
