Sorry for posting this a bit late on Ridazz.....

Who's up for the ride?

reply

Saturday, August 11.
Union Station.
Meet: 5 PM
Ride: 5:30 PM

I just put up a post.

(Sorry Pier pressure and Unite the masses for the conflict on the 11th. This is the only time possible to do the metric before the full 100 mile ride on the 25th of August.)

Pretty sure I can attend. Will have to get the OK from the little woman. This will be a good training ride for the real thing in 2 weeks.

From my experience, there were packs of people who created the pace that worked for them.

You had the people in the front, ridazz somewhere in the middle, and then others who were sort of struggling but put in a valiant effort.

If your friend can't ride a metric century (or doesn't know) it would be inadvisable unless she's a strong rider who is ready to challenge herself.

You should come if you can though, the route is really nice.

glad to hear there are more people interested. I'm looking forward to tomorrow.

I'm glad you're on board again, Kyber. I'm glad we'll have some new people...and a brand new badger rider from the foothills of the San Bernadino Mountains

If your friend can ride 40 miles comfortably she will have no trouble; she'll just be a little more tired. If she maxes out in the 20-25 range it's not going to be pretty...

I would like to go, but I'm not doing it on a fixed gear again... At least not with the raito's I'm running. Two metric century's is enough to know I need a bike w/ gears.

Yes. 2:26 am and I am still buzzing on the good vibes of this ride (and the beer I just drank).
Thanks to Tern for another epic ride. Even with the Pasadena cops pulling us all over, no harm, no foul, eh?

Fantastic ride; despite being hassled by the cops (though they weren't TOO bad). Thanks, Tern!

No one here should be making light of George Michael. He advocates for getting off the couch and going outside. Obviously, he's no friend of the man. We should make GM an honorary rida.

I finally figured out a way to trick this board into letting me register.

And now, two weeks later:
