I should hopefully feel better tomorrow but I'm still in King City and not quite well enough to drive to the Bay Area tonight. Which means I'd have to leave here by 3:30 in the morning to get there before 7am.
I was REALLY looking forward to it! I'll keep an eye on the forum for future TE rides and hopefully I'll see some of you on a lunachix ride (e.g.)
Ack, and another bites the dust.
Get well soon!
Cindyyyyyyyyyyyyyy :(
I'm going to try to make your Mt. Hamilton ride on Sunday. I hope you feel better !
Great! I should definitely feel better by Sunday and may even try to get in a short flat ride tomorrow. I'll be thinking of you all!!!Quote:

All right people. I want a report on the Ring of Fire ride!
I was still a bit dazed and confuzed when I saw SK at the finish of the DC so I didn't really get much detail out of her. But from snooping in her journal I hear that some of you are trying out for the CDF's Cycling Fire Fighting squad....
Details!! I want details!
And yes, I did the Davis double, but there was huge confusion since the course was changed while we were on the route - no one knew what was going on. The bike club did a great job of setting up SAGs out of order, but we had a bit of down time stopped at the end of some road trying to figure out where we were going - there was no way for them to communicate the changes to everyone and a whole groupd of us went one way, turned around, went the other way, turned around. And the route was quite a bit harder, and less pretty. We had a LOT more traffic.
And the only land speed records set were for slowest ever Davis double by the Pois family. Mr. P gets the freakishly strong robot award. And I get the sucky slow rider award. Oh well. At least I didn't crash and separate my collar bone like my friend Mike. He lent me his light at lunch since he wouldn't be needing it and that ensured that we did indeed finish before dark, which was good.
Yesterday was a good lesson in adaptation, I think.
:confused: Yeah, y'all got some story tellin' to do.Quote:

I feel so out of the loop. :(
"Strong robot."
My husband complains that he doesn't like doing double centuries, and he'd rather ride short (100 or less) and fast. Problem is, then he goes to do a double and he rides long and fast. All freaking day. I just don't get it. I am really impressed at how well he does - and it pushes me to stay with him. And I just can't sit on the wheel all day either, I have to take my pulls even if I don't feel great. But he gets on the front, and we're going the same speed at mile 180 that we were at mile 50.
We actually had a negative split on the ride - the climb of Cobb was in the first half. (We got the bonus double Resurrection climbs because of the course change. Lucky us. :rolleyes: ) And even though he left me on the long climbs to go ahead, my ride time was only 1/2 hour more than his.
Wicked bad hot foot on Resurrection. Last 2 doubles I have been plagued by this. I got to the rest stop and gave Mike my shoe to have the cleat moved back, which helped a bit.
Sounds like it's time for some new shoes.
That's what solved it for me anyway. :)
V.
I have new shoes. :rolleyes: That may be the problem - but I think it was the cleat moving I did after my bike fit. I will try the old positioning (farther back) on our super long team ride and see how it goes. if it doesn't work, it's back to the old shoes for the Death Ride.
