Event comments: Really not much to report. Started about 7:45, was a bit cold but a beautiful day. Had to remind myself to keep my head up and look at the BEAUTIFUL scenery. What a gorgeous part of California. Couple of decent hills, some rollers, lots of flats. Course was well laid out. There were three distances, 25 mi, 50 mi, and a metric century. Arrows painted on the ground by color directed the way. As long as you weren't going too fast, easy to see. Turns out I did the 25 miler about 16 years ago .... on the same bike ....Also turns out my mom's house was on the route, about 3 miles from the finish, so I stopped for an impromptu sag stop. 2 equipment problems. Forgot my frame pump, hiped I didn't have to stop someone for help. And the last ide in the rain, water got into the comp battery compartment, and it fried. It was flashing psychedelically the whole time at me All in all, a fun ride. Would like to try the century, but heard it is very very hard Time -0 thougt I'd be a little over an hour. Ended a little under an hour. Last updated: 2005-11-02 12:00 AM
