Yes, if you really do want to ride the second half with me. ;) (Pretty please.)
I just can't stand getting calls on my cell phone while I am riding. :rolleyes: Seriously, if I don't pick up, don't call right back immediately - leave a message. (My phone rang for about 4 minutes straight. The guy I was riding with and I enjoyed the lovely rendition of "Fur Elise" which it plays, but it eventually got a little old. :cool: )
I really do want to ride the second half with you - after you're a bit tired.
Please Powers That Be - don't let anymore weirdness happen in my life.

I thought that was one of the first things we covered in the Academy. Bicyclists lie.Quote:

OK, how much climbing is on the davis 400K? I'm debating between that and the Arizona 300K on the 28th. I think I need back to the midwest....
I am estimating 13k of climbing. nothing nasty - cardiac is the only "climb" I can think of. mind you, I don't actually have the route sheet yet, just a general route description.
Bwahahah !Quote:

Here's a writeup of the Davis 400K from 2003; no idea if it's the same route this year, though.

thanks, Jo. I love Felix's reports and had forgotten about this one. it must be a slightly different route this year as I don't think we get all the way to Cloverdale, just Geyserville.
Yes, felix's website is a real gem, thanks for reminding me about it a few weeks ago.
He used to live in my neck of the woods, and he describes a lot of really good local routes in the "self-supported rides" section.
Hey long distance weirdos.. uh gals. So I was riding the Cindy this past weekend....
Somewhere around mile 30 (ok, laugh at me) I was getting kinda bored and I thought of you folks. What do you do for your 200ks or 300ks???
Warning.. maybe I do have a bit of ADD or something.. but I was just wondering what you all do or think about or...focus on.. or whatever!
Hey MP.. go to Cindy's in Davis... if it's still there. I think the bfast is/was better than IHOP. I believe it's off the Chiles Road exit.

Warning -- my information is um... well let's just say it may be dated. :)
I look at the scenery. I talk to myself. I enjoy the feel of the bike. I fret about the big hill coming up. All of my rides are just 15 minute bits strung together. :pQuote:

I got sleepy at mile 100 of the 300k last weekend. :rolleyes: Pepsi and V8 are good things.
If you want to see a cool ride map, this is it (but don't grill me on the weather conditions, which were taken from Santa Rosa, 75 miles inland. SK already berated me for them): http://trail.motionbased.com/trail/activity/2364500
