Hi All...
This is a century ride that starts in Irvine....we ride to San Diego, then a train ride back.

... and Brandy thinks I'm the instigator!

Still thinking about this one... I'm in San Diego all day Friday but will see if there's still 'room' when I get home...

If I do any more than 2 organized (meaning I'm gone all day Saturday, sometimes Friday night) rides, DH starts getting cranky; so I'm learning to pick and choose!

What other rides are you doing Karen??? Oh, and don't forget the full report w/pics for the Windmill!!!

In October is other cool ride in Ventura

then November there are a couple of Solvang rides!!

Anyhow, I heard last year the Amtrak sold out in 2 hours!!!
So Tracy if you decide to do this ride, let me know by Thursday.

I'm with ya there... love those organized rides!!!! Its really the only way I can get the long training rides in!

I'm doing....

Three Harbors
Healdsburg
Cool Breeze
Grand Tour Lite
Lighthouse (I got in, but am waffling on this one)

There are a few this fall that I'm thinking about, it sort of depends on how I'm feeling after Cool Breeze (my first 100). I may ponder doing the Vegas Century, depending on whether DH is in a good mood or bad mood when its time to sign up!

Are you doing the metric at Three Harbors?

Trac'

ps. Brandy got into Lighthouse as well and it turns out she may have a scheduling conflict. You may want to PM her and let her know you're interested in her spot if she doesn't end up using it!

Hey Trac,
Yep!!! Doing the Metric at the three harbors with YOU!!
I will touch base with you Thursday regarding the Amtrak ride...
If you want me to sign ya up!
OH, and just looked up the Grand Tour Lite...count me in for that one too!!

sorry.... couldn't help myself.... (and i like using my belly laugh smilies!) when i saw you post... i literally chuckled out loud! that ride sold out in... i think it was 2 hours! last year!

you CAN get put on a waiting list... that's what i did.. and we eventually got an email to sign up... but with the "late" fees!

we're not gonna do it this year.... i don't want to put my bike on those trucks... and i don't want to ride my dolce! (that's right... i probably need to remove it from my "rides" list at bikejournal!)
