Christmas Eve Rides

[Aint Doody]

I, too, got in a 22 mile ride on Christmas Eve. I was solo because none of my cycling friends could cut themselves loose. It was drizzling rain and about 40, but I was totally comfortable. I'm 10 miles from my 3000 mile goal for the year. I will make it!

Great ride, V! I have driven up that hill to Keaheaou or however the heck you spell it. It is a steep one!

Better to have an actual vacation for your vacation than to kill yourself to do a super long ride. And your ride sounds long enough! Hawaii is for mai tais and watersports. Have one for me!!

After having done a 40 miler Saturday my friend Richard and I decided to do a ride down to San Juan Capistrano for lunch. I told him I needed to get back home around 3 cause I was going to Church that evening.

Long story short, we got a late start. I ran into a friend I haven't seen for a year and we talked for an hour. We finally got down to Capistrano about 1 - I was hungry and we found a Carl's Jr. I had a chichen sandwich and yes I admit, fried zuchini (iI was hungry!). We sat about 40 minutes and then got back on thebikes. My legs no longer worked. I was done. Had I thought anyone was around to come get me I would have called. I kept checking to see if the trains were running cause I would have bought a ticket. Anyway, my friend patiently followed me back. We stopped a few times. Ended up taking a longer route then planned which was also hillier but had less traffic. Got back home around 4:15. We did 55 miles. Needless to say I didn't make it to Church. All I could do was shower and love up my couch. Christmas and today no riding. I may regret that.

BTW the weather was absolutely fabulous. A typical California Christmas, sunny and cool about 65 degrees. Loving it.
