Rando - need to vent

[Fredwina]

I almost pulled my calf on the new years day, so I didn't do the winter season here in LA.
No problems, we have a sping series ,too. but it's all one way rides. I merrily asked if I could tag along on the workers ride (and thus have a ride back) no problems.
now, about two weeks before the brevet, I get an email asking me to check the cue sheet and a work assingment - but no ride. This may be a good thing , as I know have mandtory O/t at work until 6/18. given that work + commute consumes about 12 hours - I really couldn't fit the time to do a 200K and a 300K,
Also, I did back out of doing a perm for the RBA as I was having a reaction to some HRT meds - decided that I need to stay close to home that weekend.
I'm debating hanging it up, but I am also thinking about the 200K in Santa Cruz(hey I need a(mini-) vacation. I'm not really interested in the longer distances - I really don't think I can afford a trip to Paris, and even so, I probably would need to spend about three hours a night asleep and have really good luck at the control to do PBP
enough for now. Just needed to get it off my chest

Are you talking about the Moss Beach 200K on July 24?

I don't think I have anything going on that weekend, and I can be easily talked into it doing it with you.

I'm pretty familiar with that route, I did a good chunk of it yesterday.

(Oh, and I rode the permanent version of that route with Veronica a couple of years ago but DNF'd after 70 miles at Moss Beach. I had a head cold. Yeah, that's it.)

Great! I won't hold you to it, but let me know if you're still in as the date approaches.

This would be my first brevet since 2008.

Perhaps I could interest Lee in it too. We're a fairly long drive from Santa Cruz so we'd probably get a hotel room as well.

ooops - I didn't see your post just now. Hmmm, I'll check around and see if I can find anything reasonable. I think there's a hostel in Santa Cruz
