Tour de Palm Springs... who's going?

[caligurl]

shower? i've never showered after an organziced ride before eating! (ok... except for cool breeze cuz they provide showers!) i always ride... do the "baby wipe thing" in the car... eat someplace cheap (and preferably junky! lol!)..... then head home.... so i'm out! have fun! (plus i agree with nina... WAY too early to know my ride plans much less my post ride plans!)

when i drive thru palm springs on my way to anywhere west i see windmills.
lots of windmills.
wouldn't that indicate wind?
lots of wind?

[caligurl]

well... when they turn the fans off.... it's not too bad... ya... those damned fans all blowing do make for some windy weather!

Like Cali said, it depends.
Last year it was not bad.
Last month , I did a century around the Salton Sea, I stopped in Indio to have supper - Gale force winds
You are allowed to sign up Day of Ride - if you're coming from out of town, you have the winds aren't kicking up that day

I've done Palm Springs 3 times... I've never had a wind problem. One year it was really hot, another freezin' cold and another cold in the morning and hot by afternoon but no wind. Guess I was lucky.

I'm still thinking about driving out that morning and maybe doing the 50... I have so many friends doing the ride might be fun to tag along. I've never done the 50 always the century. I hear the 50 course is nice...

Wave when you blow by me 'K? Man oh man... sure hope I'm ready. I know I will be but I've been off so long now I'm losing my confidence. Sigh. Riding this weekend. Have set plans. Assuming it doesn't rain. Supposed to rain on Thurs and Fri... PLEASE no rain on the weekend!

Oh my gosh BikerChick have you not been reading my life's story - I'm so out of shape right now and slow and pokey - I'm worried I won't be able to do the 50 and before I wouldn't think twice about the century.

This is going to be my humbling year... struggling to get into shape and keep up with everyone (and no I am not sandbagging!). I've gained so much weight, I have not in anyway, done any training or exercised, man I should just stay home.

If you are worried, you can always ride with me but I warn you - it's going to be a cruise.
