Eric, I read your post while I was running out the door this morning. Just a touch different over here, low 70's, breezy, sunny. No IPA though.
For the record, we started off with 10 riders in Santa Monica. Lost one going up Westridge. Damn that's a climb and a half! Pretty close to losing another due to leg cramps. A flat tire expertly repaired. One wipe out on a downhill sweeper. Three folks had to leave early and took Topanga Cyn. down the hill (we could see you from the ridge!) Hopefully good times had by all. Especially as we had a few folks from San Diego in the south, Ventura in the north, and Redlands out to the east. As always, real good people that made the day really enjoyable. And yes, we had the requisite bearded guy on an Atlantis, even though Doug couldn't make it! My legs were particularly dead and I struggled a bit. Will probably have sore forearms and maybe neck tomorrow, maybe ITB as well. And yes, dinner at Bay Cities, although my ride and I had to split a bit early. And as always, the proof is in the pictures: http://www.flickr.com/photos/cyclotourist/sets/72157625454132801/ On Sat, Dec 11, 2010 at 5:57 AM, EricP <[email protected]> wrote: > Okay, am now officially jealous. > > Thursday - 20 hour power outage.
