Climbing Club February

[Starfish]

Well, I signed up for the Mt Shasta Summit Super Century so I guess I'd best be crackin' the whip.

I'll be staying where the lunch stop is located - the Mt. Shasta Resort - which might not be such a great idea, motivation wise.

Oh, fun! I think I'm going to stay at the same hotel as last year...I guess I better get it booked. It was over in Weed about 6 miles away, but I really enjoyed my stay. I'm going to go down a few days early...maybe we can do a TE dinner the night before, or something.

oh, Star, sorry; if i do Chilly Hilly, i'd get close to 6500 feet.
not looking likely though.

You bet !!

My husband Lee & I are staying in a cabin (excuuuse me, a "chalet" ) at the Mt. Shasta Resort. It has a small kitchen, a living room and a nice deck to hang out on. And it's only about 3 miles to the start of the ride so we'll just ride our bikes over.

Lee is doing the metric. I told him I'd be signing up for the Super Century and he just smiled and said "have fun, dear."

We could have an after-ride celebration on our deck. I can see us now, conked out on the deck chairs.

Maybe before the ride would be a better idea ...

That sounds like a nice place to stay. Having done the century last year, I know exactly where that is, and it is an easy ride to the start line. The post-ride get together sounds good...but I have to say that last year, after the century, there was a little chatting there at the end with a couple of SK's friends from Sacramento...and then I more or less collapsed into an epsom salt bath, then face planted into bed.

Who knows? Maybe with MP's incredible coaching this year, I will be ready to party all night after the ride. But, since I'm also signed up for the Super, I have my doubts.

(PS: I think I'm going to do some camping this year, and then get a room for a day or two before the ride, and the day after.)

We're thinking about Shasta also. We have some child care issues to sort out. (This is NOT a ride for the tandem. )

No climbing for me this month - except hiking!

Yay! Keeping fingers crossed. This will be fun!

PS: Been trying to talk GLC into it, too. You listening, GLC?

Hee hee, you can hijack your own thread ?

Well, 5217' for me this month.

I know the month isn't over, but I'm starting a recovery week, and I doubt there will be any outside rides between now and the 29th. I fell a little short of my goal, but I am OK with this, given the sandy, mucky state of our roads (especially the ones that climb at all).

I will have to think about a goal number for March, and will look forward to hearing the February totals and March goals of all the rest of you!
