3 BIG rides 9 days apart.... possible?

[Pedal Wench]

Cali! Congrats on completing all your planned rides! And, very impressive times on that century! Mine was just at 7 hours (and 104 miles since I got lost quite a few times!) You did good!!!

Everyone is right - I had made no agreements to stick with that guy, so no problem. He had a spoke problem, so we had stopped earlier, but that was just for a minute. There was weather moving in, and I probably would have been rained on quite a bit more if I had gone back with him. Thanks y'all for making me feel better about it!

There were lots of people on the second ride with flats and other problems and everyone was always asking if they needed help - it was great to see. Thankfully, I didn't have a problem, because I left my frame pump on the bike I rode on Saturday, so I wasn't as prepared as I should have been on Sunday! (Ah, the problems of having too many bikes!!!!)

Audio A- The Bike Goddess doesn't have the tiara. You'll have to ask Sadie Kate who the current recipient of that award is! However, the Bike Goddess does wave her magic wand and send you many magic hugs for the next organized rides you do!


Caligurl- Great job! I'll be doing the same kind of riding next weekend, except the century I'm doing is flat and the next day is with TE!!!!

AND I haven't done Breathless Agony like you have! Are you on the Bike Journal? Lots of miles to put in for our team!!

What did I do? I personally think no one needs to hand on their tiara. Once it is earned you get to keep it. There are more than enough for everyone to have one because a personal goal is a goal is a goal. For instance, V is now "Princess Zippy."

I need to get that on a t-shirt. I sure wish my average climbing time was as easy to increase as my average descending time on Diablo.

i am... but i was already affilitated with another club when i saw that TE had on i was going to join and just have my miles go to both clubs.. but they don't let you do that.. you have to chose one or the other

otherwise.... ya..... i'm .2 short of 2800 for the year! i think i will surpass my goal of 5000 for the year!

[CorsairMac]

what a sense of accomplishment you both should have now!

Audio: to ride in not just rain but Nasty rain....good on you! and all those other riders out there! Job well done!

Cali: wooooohooooo you did it! I know you were worried about it but now that's it done, oh man what a relief eh? Job well done hun....and you had fun doing it! So, why not just do the Big Bear anyway?? You and DH?

[caligurl]

unfortunately registration is sold out for big bear.... they limit it to 400 riders..... and it fills up rather quickly....

if he does ride it.. i'll do SAG like he's been doing for me.. taking a ton of pics and cheering him on.. otherwise.. he'll SAG me!

Ah...Multiple tiaras, eh? In that case 2 tiaras for our latest "did it all" ladies- (drumroll here.....) Miss Caligurl and...Miss Audio-A! . AND NOW a word from our sponsor...... TEAM ESTROGEN!...........

My bike helmet is off to you, sisters, what great accomplishments! In my opinion, there can never be too many tiaras.

Responding to the rainwear question--here in the land of rain--I have had success with the REI jacket; I forget the name, it is the yellow and grey one. The "tail" in the back actually is attached by velcro to the inside when not in use. It does a good job redirecting the water. There are also waterproof (well, supposedly) shoe covers. I haven't tried them, but hear they help, although water can splash up through your shoe clips.
