Well, if my body doesn't ride itself of this lingering cold, I may be riding at a snail's pace. I was so beat during and after our 40 miler yesterday. I was crawling up Newport Coast. :(

Gee thanks! :eek: I'm just kidding...I was hurting yesterday. I couldn't take a deep breath to save my life and when you're climbing, that's a nice luxury...lol! Every picture taken of me yesterday is horrid and now they're plastered all over Bike Forums. Wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!Quote:

This mean my first ride will be .... GMR:rolleyes: and Glendora Ridge :eek: !!!!
Hey So-Cal gals....
Just wanted to chime in and say that I've been signed up for the CoolBreeze for a while, but wasn't sure if logistics would swing favorably to allow me to actually do it. This just sounded like an awesome-enough ride to make the drive worth it. I actually wanted to do it last year, but that didn't happen.
As the Gods have apparently all smiled at the same time, it looks like a go! I haven't made any hotel reservations yet, but will be staying the night and even plan to make the pasta dinner the night before (I'm gettin' my grub on...).
I've signed up for the full 100, but being that I haven't ridden for over a week, I have no idea how I'll feel....I'm confident I can make 70 miles and can do the elevation gain, but after that remains to be experienced. Also, strangely, I've never actually ridden 100 miles in one shot.
Anyway, if you see a black Fuji carbon with yellow/fuschia/purple handlebar tape (temporary until I can find some bar tape I like better), and tall gal astride with a pink (cranberry, officially) Giro helmet, probably with a ponytail out the back, that's me......call me BikeMomma or Kim, I'll answer to both. :p
Hope to bump into a few of ya! :D :)

Hey Kim!!!!
Glad you're gonna be able to make it! I would love to meet you... let us know where you end up staying Friday... I'm going to be at the holiday inn express at Ventura Harbor and plan on picking up all my stuff Friday night.
I also plan on being on the road by 6:30 so if you are starting early, look for me... I'll most likely have my black windbreaker on w/a dark grey/silver helmet and I'm riding a black roubaix comp with yellowish bar tape (its the most distinctive thing on my bike ;) )... I also have a topeak handlebar bag that's pretty easy to spot...
I'll watch for you in the morning!
Tracy

I'll keep an eye out for you bikemomma!
Don't know if anyone here is interested in doing this, but the Bike Forums people are putting red stars on their numbers so we can identify eachother. So...I'll be on the white Trek 1000 with a red star!
Thanks Tracy. I backed out of the Spinning DVD shoot and I'm laying (lying??) low this week. Well...with the exception of my friend's 30th birthday party on Wednesday night that I can go to now that I'm not doing the DVD shoot. Party hopper bus from here in OC up to Malibu. Yikes! :eek: I'm bringing Avery along with me, so I'll be a good girl. :cool:Quote:
