Well, I'm not actually committing to 12mph, but the point was that there's no way in H*l* I can do 15mph on even my best day :p I'm just going to have to 'ride my ride' and if people want to ride w/me great (Of course, I hope they will) but if I'm holding people up, I'm totally fine riding by myself!
Trac'
ps. Tiffanie, what are you thinkin' woman? You can see Tim McGraw anytime... COOL BREEZE!! COOL BREEZE!! COOL BREEZE!!

Tracy... stop stressing. You ride whatever the heck speed you want to ride, no one will force you to do otherwise... OK???? I mean this in the nicest way. It's your ride, you do it at your pace. Now stop worrying.Quote:

yesterday they had 119 slots... today we are greeted with the above message!
Hi girls!
Channel Islands Bike Club is the club that puts on the Cool Breeze!
I joined the group about a month ago, of I haven't ridden with them yet!
I am FINALLY working up the nerve for a group ride and am going this Saturday.
Anyhow, they are having a few training rides (going through parts of the routes for the cool breeze rides)
Check out the schedule
http://www.cibike.org/page2.html
I am riding with them this Saturday, and a few more times until Cool Breeze.
I know it is a drive, but if anyone wants to come out and try a ride, let me know!!!
thanks!
Karen
Who is planning to ride the century at cool breeze, and who is opting for the metric instead?
well... i'm doing the double metric... but i think it's way too soon to be deciding to downgrade from the century to the metric! it's a month away!
i would re-ask this question a couple of days before the ride! until then... you should ALL forge ahead with your training/plans to do the century!
Oh, I'm still planning on the century caligurl...but there's been talk of doing the metric from some others, so I was just curious :D She still hasn't decided yet, but it looks like I'm losing my riding partner, so I need to gear up for riding alone if everyone else is doing the metric.
ahhhhhhhh ok... gotcha!!!!
i was just being "evil coach caligurl"!
Well I have to say I'm torn. I just haven't had the opportunity to do long rides and prepare. I could do a century but I will suffer. The metric would be easier. Brandy you can decide the day of - let's see how everyone does and feelsup until then. I really need to do some long rides but this hot weather is holding me back. Hopefully I will be doing a Belmont Shores ride (about 70 miles) on Sunday. Then we will see how I feel. Also the ride on the 30th will help make a decision. If I can survive that I most likely can do the century.
HI brandy,
I was planning on the century, so you won't be alone!
Karen :)
Tracy is doing the century too....
Right Tracy??
yes.... last i heard... tracy plans to do the century... her first! so don't bail out on her now!
I have no plans to bail out! If I can do a metric, I can surely do a century with a little more food in my belly. :D I'm glad to hear that you're in for the century Karen!
and you belly will be well fed at cool breeze!
I'm sorry Brandy. :( I feel like such a poo-poo head!!! (that's the cleanest version I could think of in place of what I really want to say ;) )Quote:

I'm glad to see there's going to be at least a couple other century riders! <<nodnod>>
Oh and I'm really bummed that I now won't be able to wear the jersey that I pre-ordered. :(
I guess I should also follow up with this:
If anyone still needs registration and a women's medium jersey, they're up for sale. :o
Why won't you be able to wear the jersey? Ok OK I understand usually I have to earn a jersey to wear it but stopped that nonsense long ago. I now sometimes buy jerseys cause they are pretty and I have someone pick it up for me (like this year's Wild Flower Jersey).Quote:

I'm driving up in the morning. :eek:
I'm staying the night before and still plan on doing the century :p ... just got back from Healdsburg and it's been a really long day in the car so I'll post more tomorrow.

Hey Brandy, I plan on the metric and would drive up that morning. By the way, I love your avatar.
Nina
I am signed up for the cool breeze, some of my local friends are going, but will look for you! Don't know about spending the night, gotta make sure I have the funds.
I'll be there, but I'm coming up the morning of.
I'll be there the night before... still planning on doing the 100 ;)
t~
ps. Karen, no worries... I'll track you down! Is your DH coming too?
I'm registered for the 100. I'll be 'camping' with some camping gear and my laptop :D in my vehicle the night before in the start/registration area. Beats driving up in the morning...
G.L.
What time are you planning on starting?Quote:
