Century+Beer=This

Anyone else want to ride a century and drink delicious beer?
July 18, 2009
Leave Union Station at 7 o' clock SHARP.
Regroup at Long Beach's Transit Mall station at 8 o' clock, stretch, refuel, and GO!
The route from Union Station will end up being just over a century. From Long Beach it's about 85 miles, if you aren't quite up for a century take the train to LB, and ride with us from there. When we get to Escondido we're hitting up the famed Stone brewery for eats and drinks. It is likely we will miss the train back, check the thread for updates on train times. We're working on finding a friendly floor to sleep on or an inexpensive sleeping alternative for the night.
Bring:
Everything you will need, tubes, water, clean underwear, pump, levers, ID for camp pendleton, and helmet!

you've been reading my mind. I just rode a century to santa barbara. my main goal was to get to the santa barbara brewing company on state street for their wheat ale. beer never tasted soooooo good. this sounds like fun. the trail through pendelton is siiiiick. get ready for sum headwinds and awesome pace-lining.

Love it!! I am there rolling to find the holy ale. We shall get stone-faced intoxicated by the blessing of good brew. There is no better carrot dangling in front of a mule on a 100 mile journey. On board and *EXCITED*!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

should be epic,
we're going to do some beach stops.. and stop off in Laguna/Newport Beach to eat at the Shake Shack (in Crystal Cove) or Taco Loco (in Laguna) and hop in the ocean probably at Main Beach since its right off PCH.. like street and boom sand and it's pretty much the halfway point. the only killer of the trip will be going inland from Oceanside since it will probably be DEATHLY hot outside.. but we can kick back our pace even more and if we have to "drown" ourselves in water.
It will probably be a chill to med pace since it such a long route in hot hot weather.. this is NOT a race.
sadly you have to be 21+ or have an awesome fake ID to join us on this EPIC adventure.

your post contradicts the other post for this ride.
Alright, Back by popular demand, the "YOU'RE NOT WORTHY" ride has been set and confirmed.
This is the "Summer" ride, exactly 6 mths from the first YNW "Winter" ride this past February.
Open to everyone willing to ride or drive down beautiful PCH all the way to Escondido, CA (approx. 110miles)
A Road Bike is recommended, but track bikes are highly encouraged.
50+ cyclist showed up this past winter (track & road) and about 8+ vehicles.
It is a fairly fast paced ride with 3 major checkpoints in between (#1 Seal Beach, #2 Dana Point & #3 Aliso Creek Rest Area).
Support vehicles are a must, being that we are riding to a Brewery and most likely will get shit faced.
Detailed Route Maps will be handed out on the morning of event. Arrive at 5am if you plan to grab breakfast.
WE LEAVE 6am SHARP....We need to leave on time to take advantage of the Free Brewery Tour (first come first served)
I'm still trying to get confirmation if Stone Brew will again greet us with the Merchandise Discount! I.D.'s are a must!

we probably shouldn't stop much until we get close depending on our pace, we want to make sure to get there with plenty of time to drink. but i don't see why we can't make time for a quick dip in the ocean.

you guys are funny... do you know that at a chill pace with the ammount of stops you're doing you're gonna be on the road for, at the very least, 8 to 9 hours. get real. a ride down south to SD is hardly a picnic. and oh yeah, way to encourage the underage crowd to get fake IDs. im sure the MPs at camp pendelton are not going to notice.

we're actually not going to be stopping much.. we discussed this last night.. we expecting to bike 15mph pace (i assume).. and i was joking about the fake i.d. part.
and yea we realize its not that easy of a ride.. but it will be worth it once we get down there.. we're taking the train home and crashing at a friends house.. it will be hard.. we will be out for a long time.. but oh well.

gais,
so excited for tomorrow. bring sunscreen. 1 or 2 pepes bring a cable lock. here's what the lodging, cost situation is.
beer: it's a sliding scale, depending on how much of a drunk you are.
room: we've got a suite at the ramada w 2 queen beds and a pull out sofa. it was 110, so the more people that come the cheaper it will be.
train: looks like the only one we can feasibly take Saturday is around 2 pm and will cost us 10 bucks a head.
route slips and spokecards are done. everybody indulge in a carb-feast and i'll see you on the morrow.

Hey, you know what's funny?
We're all in Escondido right now, after kicking the fuck out of the ride, PCH, Camp Pendelton, and the Stone Brewery last night.
So yes, we made it. Eat your fucking crow.

Glad everyone had a great time and came back safe and sound. I was really looking forward to this but a couple of things stood in the way, mainly my sore foot and lack of funds for the train back. Pictures or it didn't happen.
And Danya.... a new level of respect for you. I can't imagine it being possible but after the previous night and all the drinking we did (and you as well) I can't believe you managed to get up on time and still do the ride. Amazing!
