Solvang Century

The REGULAR, not the DOUBLE!

Who is going? I think I may go for a visit to the folks (they live in Arroyo Grande) and do the century. Undecided...it means prolly at least of week out of my ski season. Wah! But then folks need to be visited.

It's March 11 this year. They also have a half-ie!

Anyone???

Come do the double instead! It's only 7500 feet of climb.

Gosh, dang it! I can't get Bubba motivated to deal with the hunting plans. But if you came out I'd prolly have to go do it without or without a driver.

Does registration fill up fast? How crazy is it with the horde of cyclists?

Yes, it fills. It's a huge ride...5000 riders I think. But it's pretty spread out. I had a blast last year. The food at the rest stops was top notch and it's a pretty easy ride...I think 3000' climbing max or something.

I could come to Davis, pick you up, make you suffer through a visit with my folks, and then redeposit you at home. Visits to the beach and fine dining inbetween, of course.

Hmmm....I see a plan forming.

[yellow]

Uhhhhhh, but it's 200 miles (or close to it). My butt will definitely not be up for that.

My other friend that is doing the double (HotRod... you know him! ) said the same thing. As if all this cross training would actually work for cycling. Not!

(I say that with confidence as I went for a swim today, first since September, and felt like I was going to DIE. I'm serously considering couch potato-hood.)

HotRod? You mean Thom will have competition for Veronica's calf-oggling?

I think Thom's been riding more and would prolly win anyhoo!

And besides, instead of "skirt chasing" it's "calf chasing". I predict that it will affect V's time positively!

[Veronica]

Yep, Thom's got a pretty fine set of calves. Trouble is, as "coach" he tends to ride behind me.

My other friend that is doing the double (HotRod... you know him! ) ...

OOOOOOOOO..... HotRod. I probably won't see him, since he'll be with the faster folks. Sadness.
