Well Done !  

I Acheived my goal today  with a hilly run yesterday and big organized ride today

We did 53 miles  and  unfortunately I witnessed  two crashes  .

Now back  to swimming  and  running

53 miles? wow! 2 crashes - bummer man. I cringe every time I hear about bike crashes whether they are bike to bike, bike to car, or bike to ditch/field/pavement...

Speaking of biking...did this nature trail thing with my son today and I pointed out a redwing black bird and said "those are the birds that dive bomb Mommy when she rides her bike" Along with a helmut, maybe we need a coat of armor!

Maybe You need to ride a Tandem with  a rear gunner to keep them birds at BAy

I enjoyed the ride but I would not do it again as it was too slow  and the group was too large which led to confusion and sudden braking in very odd areas   , also  as we followed the Rules and stayed to the right  we ended being separated from the advanced group ,  a squad car came in front of us and slowed us down even more , to rejoin our group   I tried to pass the car a few times but it was very aggressively    cutting us off the lead group weaving back and forth .  On a hill heading into Boyle heights I successfully passed it and headed straight to the   lead  group passing on the left and aggressively attacked and made my way to the head  maintained my position near the front . My buddy Dave did not and ended up with 50 other riders cut off from the group in no mans land  , they then made their way to the rest stop without the escort having to stop at all the red lights  .  after the rest at Hollywood Bowl  the popos in front had at  times  the group going 14-15mph which is very slow in a  large pack   this caused  a lot of bunching up  which led  to  bike crashes and falls .  One rider was Ok after his fall , more embarassed than bruised  , One other rider who fell needed to visit the ER .  

Food and rest stop  and parking were all very  well organized .  The course covered some of the LA Triathlon and  LA MArathon routes so it was cool to scout  in that regard .  Some bystanders shouted  mostly good and curious  comments and of course one  grumpy dude  called us all a bunch a fags !  LOL

There was a nice cheerleading group at the last climb  on academy rd which was really cool .

Hiya! Just a reminder that the challenge is due to finish up - hope youve all earnt your super hero powers this month!

Please make sure your team spreadsheet is up to date as Im going to try and post the results over the weekend!

Thanks
