The Lighthouse Century...

[bikerchick68]

Hiya all! OK- so Sat I rode the Lighthouse Century. This was a VERY well organized ride... there are other local organizers who should take some lessons from the San Luis Obispo Bicycle Club!!! I can't say enough about the set-up, the route, the SAG support, and the well run rest stops with the most cheerful people working them... it made the day an even greater pleasure... anyway, thought I'd take ya along for the ride...

this would be a GREAT beginner century as it's only got 2000ft climbing... pretty darn flat!

Here's the sunset the night before

a red tailed hawk... there were about 50 of them circling one of the plains at one point... amazing to see...

Cappucino Cove at the 58 mile sag... manned by dancing pirates and rock and roll... they had celery with peanut butter... I could've cried I was so happy...

Was that a typo or you actually consider 2000 feet of climbing to be flat??? You clearly have a different definition of "beginner" than I do. ;-)

lol! i'm with bc that 2000 is flat! most of the centuries i've been to have 5000 or more climbing it seems! california is not as flat as people think!

gorgeous pics, bc! i managed to take a few at GT lite but haven't downloaded them yet.... but i already know they aren't nearly as gorgous as yours! (i actually took a couple of the ocean while riding! )
