ALC 5 almost here

[Trek420]

Day 4, by now you should just be feeling stronger each day. Good thing because today's the day of the Evil Twins. Lunch is at the little town of Bradley, skip the Cliff bars and bring some money the kids put on a BBQ for us each year.

I think this is the shortest day, and red dress day and talent show.

This has been my favorite day, endless moderate climb and then...the ocean again. Paradise Pitstop and camp is by the ocean. You should end the day by riding along the ocean and then right through camp. I also don't have the elevations for day 7, there's a lot of rollers, no big climbs just a lot of up and down.

Day 7 the Pacific Coast Highway is busy and dangerous, heads up TE gals. Enjoy your ride, we'll be following you online.

I'm feeling really nervous about down hills. I'm feeling like up hill is just work...down hill is scaring me.

Ride your own ride, go at your own pace, and keep this thread taped to the handlebars

Hope to see you on Day 0, and although you might not have cell access during the ride for the sole reason that recharging can be a problem (charge your phone up, leave it off unless you're using it, and if you have a spare battery...) but if any of you gals care to PM me for my number or call in to someone here and I'll post the news to TE.

Are you going to do a ride out together?

and thanks for posting the thread that *I* started

just gotta remember to take my own time!

I don't like down hill. I often count backwards to myself when going down hill, somehow this gives me a level of control. I am counting the days.

I need to remember, that I'm not the only one who dreads these downhills! I do get mired in my own nerves, and it really helps to remember that I'm not the only one!
