anyone living in the Inland Empire?

I also live in RC, but I have this thing called a job it's In El Monte and I do 9-hour shift, so unless you like waking up real early. I do get every other Friday off
Blatant plug : have you considered the local club, Cycling Connection (www,cyclingconnection.org), We are a friendly, if odd, bunch (I am the secretary) We usually meet at Day Creek and Baseline at 8:00 on Saturdays and Sundays, except for 2/24 - we're doing a beach ride on the Santa Ana Trail- PM(private message) me if you're interested. I won;t be there, but I can get you directions to the start. it's 46 flat miles
Century, which one are you doing? You've got plenty of time. I would get to where you do 50 miles rides on consecutive days without major problems. Just start working on increasing your mileage i,e, if you're doing 20 mile ride, start doing 25, them 30, etc.
You also may want to wander over the "getting to know you" thread. we're quite the inquisitive bunch...
