Subject: RE: Ironman 70.3 California : Official ThreadI ride the portion of Vandergrift Blvd after you take a right off of Basilone at mile 45ish(you know, the part that is ALWAYS windy) on CPEN just about every day on my commute to and from work. On the ride in this morning I saw street sweepers out getting the road all nice and clean for you folks. I'm pretty stoked about it not just because you guys should have nice clean roads, but I will also have a clean, debris free ride back to the train station today! Sure this has been covered but this time of year a westerly wind picks up around 10am everyday, so you'll have to deal with that for a few miles. Speed varies, but usually about 10mph. But once you turn right off of Vandergrift and head back over the 5 you'll be pretty protected all the way into T2. Hoping all you guys have a great race. I have done this race for the past two years but it was sold out by the time I got around to registering this year, so I'm jealous of all of you. This is one of the few opportunities to ride the back hills of CPEN. Have fun and be safe! Edited by ltoson 2013-03-29 1:25 PM
