Some more
Tour De Poway on 10/1 (www.tourdepoway.com)
Riverside to Surfside (http://www.riversidebicycleclub.org/ ) The Santa Ana trail is my verboten list for the foreseeable future, so i;'m going to skip this one.
Las Vegas Century (http://www.vegasbikeclub.org/century/index.html). I may do the metric. Would love to the Full Century (it's pretty), but not sure If I'll be up to it.
11/11 Tour De Foothills in Upland (http://www.tourdefoothills.com ) My club, The Cycling Connection is Helping to put this one. I'm doing the half metric and working the information booth. should be a good ride!
Karen, I may the harvest ride. I should be back on the bike by then (crosses fingers). I can recall promising some TE Ladies I would showthem where GMR is.... Let's get back on the back first (and find a shop that doesn't only have the ugly helmet colors in stock!

not doing the tour de foothills... and it's expensive for such a "short" ride! ($50 bucks for a metric!)

not sure about the harvest ride! i'd like to... but we'll see!

R&B had their julian ride sometime in november... not sure about that...

poway is the day after AC... so not doing that... not doing another century the day after all the climbing! :eek:

i KNEW there was another one! 5 counties (http://www.lawheelmen.org/rides.htm#5county)!

UGH! 3 centuries 3 weeks in a row! when it rains it pours!!!!!!! why can't they spread out??????

BF is doing a ride up GMR (and further on up to baldy if anyone so desires) on sep 2... the long weekend!

gmr is gorgeous.... i highly recommend it! come on out and play!!!!!!!!!!

[Fredwina]

yes, but you won't have the benefits of Moi's wonderful ride leadership. Of course, this could be a liability, depending on how you look at it.......

[caligurl]

lol! you're welcome to come on the 2nd! the bf gang is a great group of guys and gals!!!!!!!!!!!

[Fredwina]

Probably not for the 2nd . Still have 5 weeks to go!

[roadfix]

I'm doing the GT Lite too!

Oh, I'm also doing GMR on the 2nd....:)

[tprevost]

I'm probably doing the one on 10/7 (sundays are hard for me) ... I love that area!

There are a few others I think I'm doing but I am too tired from CB and I need to go take a shower :eek:

more later ;)

There's also the Solvang Prelude on November 4th (almost October!). There's a 25mi, 50mi and metric century route.

Some friends from my office and I are planning on doing the 25mi ride to celebrate my 50th b-day (way too many hills on the 50/metric routes for me!).

Actually, I may not be doing the Vegas Century after all. I got "volunteered to be part of a crew for the Furnace Creek 508 ( with team Golden Drasenji, Bernie "homey" Barge and Nicole Honda). So I may have the $ to do Vegas. Still have not recieved a bill for my the ER visit Re: my arm. I want to make sure I'm not busting my budget, plus I'm trying to convince myself to drive 600 miles to do a metric century....
