How was the Tour de Palm Springs??

[caligurl]

tprevost.... for most organized rides... i ride my own pace.. so alone... he rides a few with me.. he picks which ones... he rode my first metric with me (tour of borrego)... but this year we each did our own ride... rode my first double metric with me (actually.. it was his first double metric too).. the next double metric he rode to the first sag with me.. then took off... hmmmmm he rode angeles crest with me.. it was a climbing century... i'm not sure how he picks in his head which ones to ride with me and which ones to go off on his own... he's riding the mardi gras century next weekend with me (sounds like a nice century.. they claim only 2200 climbing! but he's already warned me he's going to push me.... (but if he pushes too much.. i'll just back off and ride what i can do! lol!) i always tell him he's mean to push me.. but i know he's just trying to make me a better rider... we just have different goals! (i want to ride for fitness and to burn calories.. he wants to get faster and stronger!)

and don't decide again palm springs because of some of the reports.... do it and make your own decision! there were 8000 riders... and only a handful of us reporting! they wouldn't keep coming if they didn't really enjoy it on some level!

oh... and i try to start as early as i can... if it's a set time.. i leave when it starts.. if its an open time.. i leave at the earliest time! especially for climbing rides... i need all the time i can get!!!!!
