Climbing Club February

[Starfish]

Hi everyone! Seems that Climbing Club kinda went by the wayside, but I want to revive it!

My goal for February is a paltry 6500', but in my defense, there is a ton of sand and gravel on most of my regular hills right now. (That, and I'm a weeny )

Anyhow, I have about 3500' on the month as of now, and am shooting for another 3000' on one more weekend ride before February ends. The way it is going, it is looking like that will mean 4 repeats of the same road.

Anyone else want to play?

it's kind of late in February to start a february challenge, isn't it?
I got 1800 feet on Saturday, so if i do chilly hilly, i'll be getting close... but weather isn't supposed to be too good this weekend.

I guess I never considered Climbing Club to be a challenge thread. Just a place to state one's goals, get support & encouragement, and report back.

I have at least one more long ride (well, long for this time of year for me), and I wanted to set a climbing goal for the month to make sure I get it in.

Close to what? What is your goal?

Oooh, I'll play! But, Starfish, your 'paltry' 6500' isn't as paltry as my 5300'! I am just aiming for a mile of climbing for the month because of all the grit and sand on the roads still. I am a bit over three thousand right now, so I have a bit to go.

I'm sitting this one out until I get back to Ohio. Around here a "hard climb" is a 60-foot-tall bridge

Well, I signed up for the Mt Shasta Summit Super Century so I guess I'd best be crackin' the whip.

I'll be staying where the lunch stop is located - the Mt. Shasta Resort - which might not be such a great idea, motivation wise.

Oh, fun! I think I'm going to stay at the same hotel as last year...I guess I better get it booked. It was over in Weed about 6 miles away, but I really enjoyed my stay. I'm going to go down a few days early...maybe we can do a TE dinner the night before, or something.

oh, Star, sorry; if i do Chilly Hilly, i'd get close to 6500 feet.
not looking likely though.

You bet !!

My husband Lee & I are staying in a cabin (excuuuse me, a "chalet" ) at the Mt. Shasta Resort. It has a small kitchen, a living room and a nice deck to hang out on. And it's only about 3 miles to the start of the ride so we'll just ride our bikes over.

Lee is doing the metric. I told him I'd be signing up for the Super Century and he just smiled and said "have fun, dear."

We could have an after-ride celebration on our deck. I can see us now, conked out on the deck chairs.

Maybe before the ride would be a better idea ...
