Climbing Club - April Goals

Well, that got me a-scamperin' to your journal.

Oh. My. God. I had no idea you were doing that!

Most eagerly awaiting the details.

Ed. to add: You sure earned your pancakes, darlin'!

Me too! I would have worked the dinner if I'd known. Can't wait to see the ride report!

I wasn't planning it really, myself. Only signed up a couple of weeks ago. That's what happens when you do your 400k 2 weeks before you planned and you don't "have" to do a 400k that day. Sick, huh?

Kim - Don't worry, I didn't stick around dinner very long. Just long enough to regain consciousness and affirm heartily in front of all witnesses that I would never do that ride again. It was 2 am. Apparently I wasn't even last.

I figured it was something like that. You have interesting impulses, MP.

I'd like to try the Mt. Hamilton Challenge next year. It looks hard, but not crazy-azs hard.

OMG - I was thinking (at midnight) what a wonderfully civilized ride the Mt. H Challenge is!! I did it 2 years ago with my friend David - it was both of our first real 200ks. I saw David at their rest stop 2/3 of the way to the junction yesterday. At that point, I was ahead of where I estimated I would be time-wise - and he was behind where I thought he would be. I never expected to see him, and it was a real treat!

That is a fun ride! Although I am not wild about descending that side of Hamilton. Beats climbing it, though.

But I can't ride it next year anyway as I've committed to doing ride support for DMD.

dagaus, perchance?

Last night I was looking up his Wine Country Century ride from last year that he uploaded on MotionBased. I'm already plotting my shortcut back to the finish after Coleman Valley & Rt. 116

[maillotpois]

Yup, Dagaus. AKA Ubergeek. (Not only does he seem to upload ALL of his rides to Motion Based, he still uses both his Polar and his Garmin. )

He's the one who got me on BikeJournal, and that brought me here, so I have a lot to be grateful to him for!
