Long Distance Girls....

Yes, felix's website is a real gem, thanks for reminding me about it a few weeks ago.

He used to live in my neck of the woods, and he describes a lot of really good local routes in the "self-supported rides" section.

Hey long distance weirdos.. uh gals. So I was riding the Cindy this past weekend....

Somewhere around mile 30 (ok, laugh at me) I was getting kinda bored and I thought of you folks. What do you do for your 200ks or 300ks???

Warning.. maybe I do have a bit of ADD or something.. but I was just wondering what you all do or think about or...focus on.. or whatever!

Hey MP.. go to Cindy's in Davis... if it's still there. I think the bfast is/was better than IHOP. I believe it's off the Chiles Road exit.

Warning -- my information is um... well let's just say it may be dated.

I look at the scenery. I talk to myself. I enjoy the feel of the bike. I fret about the big hill coming up. All of my rides are just 15 minute bits strung together.

Yeah, I always have plenty to think about. And if there are other riders, you can talk to them. Or I sing. Or play movies in my head. Or talk to the cows. I've really never gotten bored. Tired, yes. Sleepy, yes - and sleepy is worse than tired to me. Sleepy means I need to take a break.

I got sleepy at mile 100 of the 300k last weekend. Pepsi and V8 are good things.

If you want to see a cool ride map, this is it (but don't grill me on the weather conditions, which were taken from Santa Rosa, 75 miles inland. SK already berated me for them): http://trail.motionbased.com/trail/activity/2364500

You have to admit it is funny to hear someone complain about horrible winds and then send a chart that shows 12.6 mph max wind speed.

Hey, Veronica! Hey you! Cyndi has a Garmin 60CSx that she's never used. She loaned it to me so I'm going to see if I can get it reved up for Pardee. I may be picking your brains (as in you and Thom). We're going to take it on the Telluride trip.

That's cool! You can get a car charger for it. Might be handy for charging it at night if the truck is being run for warming water for showers or whatever. I used batteries the whole time in NS. They lasted about two days.

The car charger was in the box. They probably won't run the truck extraneous times because it's 6 days without chance for fuel. Last time, the town of Gateway was closed when we went through so no gas. Solar showers only unless there are a lot of guests which could be mean less water per person. There's a spring fed cattle tank at one camp spot that I have staked out in my mind. All the water for bathing you want as long as you like it just above freezing.

You talk and talk and talk to the poor person your riding with. Poor Jobob and Leebob.....yep I should be called team chin wag.
