Bike to Work

Well since my car was at work since I rode home friday I thought it would be best to come get it today and put in a few hrs.

Cloudy skies at the coast I was hoping for sun as I rode in land and I got it! once I hit the 805 BAM! sun :) temps in the 70's a perfect recovery ride from yesterday, I kept the pace medium never hard and cruised the empty holiday trafficless streets.

Thru miramar and up into scripps ranch, down to poway road and up sabre springs very few cars, didn't hit many lights and just enjoyed a cruise in!

Epic in Idyllwild

Epic a word used so easily and plainly when talking about bike rides/races these days.... but I think I can use it here....

Plan was to get up at 6am and on the road by 6:30 am to get to Idyllwild by 8:30... I for some odd reason am all pumped up to go and after sleeping for only a couple hrs I get up at 5am and on the road at 5:30am.... Tired as hell I get to Idyllwild at 7:30 and drop the seats in the E (that thign rules) and pass out for an hr... well more like dodge in and out of sleep for a bit)

8:30 rolls around I roll out of the car pumped to be riding but def not in the shape I'd like to be....

We start out on the 24hr race course and hit the main climb straight out, not a bad climb it was no damn climb but I am sitting like 3rd wheel and hurtin abit the HR just doesn't wanna come up and I'm sleepy :)

We do a rippin fun desecent into a valley and climb a lill more, we turn left and climb more now its time for some fun! we hit a nice single track down! and I'm feeking scketchy not sure why... then BAM!!! I'm on my face! literally front wheel turns after grabing some air left shoulder and face hit the ground.... my face is covered in dirt my visor hits my nose.... I'm ok just shaken up... yea lesson learned HURT OFF YOUR LOCK OUT WHEN DESENDING!!! had teh hero cam on the bike so footage to come...

So I enjoyed the down a lill bit but was takin it easy biudling the confidence back up. We get down then climb the same fire road back up and hit another down... now I'm havin fun! rippin along roosting corners, I'm leading now and rippin down :) I have no idea where I;m going buts its fun!

We get down and I'm feeling like myself again just alill slow on the climbs, we hit another single track they are tight! can't open it up but lots of tech fun climbs and downs, we find a lill drop and I session it a bit finally hitting the bigger side of it :) Yea I'm back :)

We go thru endless single track for the next oh 3hrs before stopping for lunch and man I can use it! fig bar, PB&J, and I kill my camel back.... still got 1hr+ to ride but I'm well hydrated and we got great weather.

We hit some of the funnest single track on the way back to the race course, lill drops, lots of big rocks, hits, and a really fun big roll in that I try 2X to ride the nose down, I could only get the rear a few inches off the ground coming down but it was afun! thru some really cool logs and rocks and back to the fire road and to the race course.

Now its time to go down!!!! and down we go! rippin and flying the trail is really loose over hard pack so I'm sliding all around but its fun! (I've started to get use to the this socal stuff) WOW so much fun, half the group splits off and we option another climb that is part of the race course, nothing nasty just grinder lill bit of tech up, fun dare I say even at hr 4.... We hit another rippin descent! rocks walls, lill hits good stuff, then back to the car!



I down some choc cold soy milk and some sport beans and we are packed up and off to our 2nd ride of teh day :) I quick shuttle run down Thomas Mnt.

We drop my car at the bettom and drive up the 1700' to the top. Random spoting of the day Tinker Juarez was coming down as we were driving up.... the guy is a machine!wasn't feeling at the top the dirt road bumpy car ride had made me a bit car sick.... But it was on! ~5 miles of down to come NO CLIMBS!

I get out front and to my surprise I start to feel a lill better and am GONE! lots of tight switch backs, loose rocks, tight trails, and I'm loving it! We stop a could times to regroup I'm just chillin up front rippin around takin some fun lines and enjoying the ride!

short ride but fun and well worth the drive! Time for a burrito and the 2hr drive home a 2 ride Epic in Idyllwild comes to an end.

Lake Hodges Ride

So after the lack of sleep stopped me from riding to work on national bike to work day so I desided to do the ride home today :)

Left work and headed north up Pomerado, the legs weren't feeling that good, little stiff and lacking pop.... I got up to Lake hodges and crossed the new pedestrian bridge :) cool pic



So accross the bridge and off up into southern escondido... I turned west on via rancho parkway and cruised down a bit till I got to Felasito... thats where I hit a nasty short climb! that hurt... continued to climb till I go to lake side rd this was the best part of the whole ride! I descended down to the lake.



Then the road twists and turns and winds around the lake, no traffic, in the trees, so cool! That ended when the road turned away from the lake and up! I mean UP! short but my 36/25 hated me spinning like 40 rpm standing....

on to del dieos hwy and up to the hodges damn. the traffic was moving fast and was alill scray esp since at the damn is a pass and the wind was whiping! in the face and was pushing me around alot.

Up and down the rode lill climbs here and there and up into Rancho Santa Fe wow people got money there! thru the center of town and west into a nasty head wind...
Down to the 5 and I was off to the coast... still a long way to go.

Down past dog beach and every lill bump is killer on my legs and I'm out of water and have to piss....

Thru Del mar and down to torrey pines I knock out the inside at a respectable pace chasing down a rabbit I had in a UC cyclery kit. I hit the golf course surprised I feel as good as I did... I'm getting hungery I have no food but I downed 2,00 kcal so far that day....

I stop at a light catching my next rabbit, and old guy who is fit lookin! He is in a shop kit and rockin a Cervelo and a power tap... "I say hi hows it going" he looks at me with a blank look and ignores me.... light turns green I ride ahead he sits on my wheel for a bit I'm expecting him to come around soon... I take the right toward UCSD fast! and open up a gap and that was the last I saw him... I really hope he was on a recovery ride and got that stick out of his ass....

past UCSD and down to the scrips pier... I'm going like 40MPH and a guy in an old bronco thinks that is a great place to bang a 3 point turn.... I slam on the brakes and cross behind him as he starts to back up and I'm in on coming traffic.... scary moment! I wait for him to catch up and at a stop sign I give him a FUCKING hear full! He shrugs I spit on his passenger window and take aright.... dick....

I head up to la jolla and all the fake boobs are out.... over to bird rock I see a portapoty and think jackpot! but it was for a construction site and it was locked....

I keep heading toward PB and think ok I'll hit the beach bathrooms at grand so I take a pit stop there and grab a gatorade damn I needed that I would have pounded the whole think but had a few miles and one climb left.

Down garnet... why did I take garnet... I don't know it was cool to see the bars packed with people and the traffic on grand is a bit scary... but I always run into Aholes on garnet.... I couple of hicks in a Bro-dozer blows his air horn right next to me to try and scare me... I didn't actually jump that much, to my surprise.... he gets stuck at a light later on he catches up again and his bro cigarette smokin passenger laughs and says "nice spandex fag" I reply "your the ones beepin at me and checkin me out...." he looks mad and I don't take it any further for fear he'd try and run me off the road.... dick....

Up balboa it didn't hurt as much as I thought it would and I cruised home... tired

Col Du Cookie

Haven't been out on a lunch ride as of late with all my sleep issues and it being daylight savings, but I hit the road with the guys today.

We hit up monster Cookie and it was fun as always. Out the main desent to saber springs I was out front in the wind abit but toward the bottom I tried to get in on some wheels and not do too much work before the climb. We were coming up on the base of Pomerado and the pace jumped up! I was dropped a bit but came back picking guys off one at a time till I got up on Dom's wheel with Dave and Rob just ahead of us. We caught them at a light and then Dave has a shoe issue and had to stop for a min. We kept the pace high knowing he'd catch and Dom took the front. Rob started to ride away but we had a lot to climb still. Dave came streaming by I jumped his wheel but didn't hang on long Dom got his wheel and then passed him as they closed on Rob and took the lower part of the climb.

We regrouped and headed up the 2nd half of the climb, I busted out early and kept the pace high. I looked back and had about 50yrds so I kept my head down and really opened up a gap! I took the col du cookie by a large margin then shut it down to wait for the guys.

Dom came by flying and I jumped back on rob's wheel Dom wasn't gonna let anyone pull as he wanted to ride us off his wheel and he almost did, I just hung on and we chilled for a bit. Down Down Down Down we went Donny got a nice gap on us as he is a Big strong desender and opened up enough of a gap to catch all the lights as we caught all 3!!!!

he had a HUGE lead on us going up pomerado, the long 3% up we took turns in a wicked paceline! each taking nice pulls, I dug really deep and we road one guy off our wheels, then Dom took a dig, I slid in 2nd wheel as Rob didn't wanna pull yet. I took another dig and flicked. Rob pulled thru big and when he came off he was done and didn't stay on Dom's wheel.... we had ridden the whole group off... and still didn't catch Donny. 3 of us regrouped at a light and up the last bit of climbing we went I though we must be getting close to him... last left and there he was Dom bridged but I got caught in traffic and didn't make the light.

I finally got moving again and got them insight but there was work and I came up about 100yrds shot of catching on :)

Great ride!

SD bay

Great easy road ride today, chilled out and headed around SD bay with Jeff

Down from my house it was a gloomy cloudy may grey day but WTF at least its not 100F out. Downtown we grabbed our ferry tix (good thing) and headed past the convention center/ petco park and off into the industrial areas of national city.... We chatted, actually I was chatty... Down they the car lots an across the 54 bike path we weren't putting but not screaming.

Into Chula vista we were making good time, past the marina and onto the rockin new bike path that leads to the strand. We picked it up a bit on the strand hangin around 20mph but there were alot of people out today.... Off the strand and around the golf course we went under the bridge and up to the fery port where the line for the F'ing ferry was a mile long seriously...



we skipped to the front handed the guy our pre-bought tix and on we went :)

took the ferry accros and saw some local wild life




got the legs moving again and out of down down we had some guys catch us at a light and I was feeling warmed up again so Jeff on my wheel I cranked it up and for a lill bit they were staying with us but after a lill while Jeff yelled ok they are gone :)

We skipped the trip around fiesta island as we were both hungery and talking non stop about food! It was now the only climb of the day up to clairemont. We started out slow and agreed to chill till a fat guy on a flat bar road bike came screaming by us at the base of the climb... Soooo I caught him passed and dropped the hammer to just get the climb over with :) Back to my place for some food :)

Racers and Chasers pics

RR

Well I had high hopes for this race but life got in the way a bit :) BUt the fun never ends :)

I went out way too late and ate way too much mexican food the night before and I was tired and my stomach was killing me this am.... not a good start...

Got to vail lake warmed up with Kerry and could just tell the legs were gonna hate me today... no matter I'm gonna have fun :) and that I did!

The start was prob my best start ever! I was 2nd row and got really up front! I mean I was sitting 4-5 wheel going into the first climb but that is where that ended :) I got passed by like 8 guys right there (not all in my case but some were) Down and around the marine crops climb and it wasn't thinning out this crew had come to play!

Up to bridges and we caught the back end of the Experts (who had a 1 min head start) I passed a couple experts (why not they are doing more laps :) and actually passed a few peeps in the switch backs! We got to the first saddle and here is where Robert (race director) decided to get midevil on our asses... instead of climbing more then ging down we went down dragons back and down burning calves... (where a guy in front of me almost lost it and if he did my only option was gonna be to manual and run his ass over:) Down the jump trail and all the way back to the start finish...

He is where he got evil... we did the whoops backwards then climbed the entire ambulance road! all the way back up! (no tunnel of love) then down marlin ridge and then all the way up gun slinger! That hurt! back around to teh start finish I was moving well but feeling like junk! 45mins on the first lap.... hit the 2nd lap and I started to dog it... got passed by a couple guys and was feeling ill....

I recovered and said to myslef just turn it down and have fun your not even gonna come close today.... So I did I settled into a more fun pace and enjoyed the sunshine. Up the ambulence road then I rocked the desecnt up gun slinger and down and then I saw that group that passed me early on fading.... nice! there was a quick up hill that I hammered and at the top they were with in 100yrds... I new I could catch them on the hairy desecnt to come and exiting that last turn I was right on thier wheel!

Only the fire road to go, I get right in my big ring and get on the 3rd guys wheel.... The guy at the front turns up the gas we are moving and I'm thinking ah no way they have more kick then me :(

But we hit a small sand pit and I bust out of the draft and roost thru the sand!!!! yup HR hit hi of the day there 194!!! I hit the pavement look back the guys are not with in reach! I cross the finish wait for them to catch and say nice race...

Rults come up yup they were both in my cat :) piped by the fat guy :) 7th on the day.... could have been better but could have been worse :)

Mission Trails finally

After 2 days off it was time to get back at it!

I met up with a new teamate for a total ass kicking! Out the grasslands and up the single track we went my HR didn't drop be low 180.... He kept the pace high I tried to hang but it didn't happen. Damn I'm slow :( Up the sycamore connector he tossed it down! and I was lagging still hadn't seen less then 180 and we were 30 mins into the ride now.... That climb hurt alot more then usual due to the effort leading up to it!

Down the connector I used to try and recover and we hit the fireroad and I got into my big ring but couldn't hang... it was sad...

It was time to head up the switch backs and I knew he was gonna kill me, I backed off a bit knowing I had a race in less then 48hrs. And finally saw a few mins below 180 :) up the switch backs I settled into my own pace and made the turn up top he was a good 1/2 a mile again of me.... Man I needed this ass kicking! We get to the desecent and realized that my slowness will have to cut the ride short :(

We desecnt into sycamore cyn finally I get my HR down a bit and recover. We crank back by the lakes, I'm soooooo slow! dropped again, but its good as I need to get pushed. He needs to get home so we agree he should hit the gas. I cruise back feeling like alill bit stupid but knowing that if I can ride with fast people (if they don't hate me for being slow) I will get better.

Lesson of the day, ride with fast people more often the will teach you how slow you really are :)

And on the 6th day he rested... well so I though... We hit up the road bikes for a ride up to Pizza port (which is now a tradition on monday evenings)

Started out easy but Matt and Joe had legs (I did not) and I wanted to chill but they were going just a lill faster then I had hoped... up the climb to delmar and then past dog beach. We added a couple miles by heading up all the way to Swami's and turned around and to pizza port. Where I didn't part take in beer as my head was still a lill foggy so I drank too much poweraid and ate too much beer buddies...

Stomach way too full we headed back and Joe and Matt again were going alill fast for my take and my full stomach! I was lagging behind and hurtin with the amount of food in me.... (note to self way less food next time!) Fun ride though!

I was feeling the last 5 days on my legs but we cruised. up the first section the pedaled the big bike quite well! Flowy pedalling sections to follow I was a lill slow but havin fun! the 2nd climb I moved up it pretty well :) Then we went down down down! rippin the corners soakin up the rocks good times!

We stopped at coctail rock for a couple pics and continued down the rock garden, we were movin well and I was takin it easy but having alot of fun! Joe was flying thru the smooth fast sections! We hit the rocks and I moved to the front enjoying the slack angles and the extra travel :)

We got to xtra credit and it was time to climb alill. joe hung with me as he was taking it easy and I did well I thought! That was def the fastest I had ever gone thru that seciton. Then we ripped it up on xtra credit :) So much fun!

ATT

Fog in my head or no fog it was time to get a move on! I thought we wouldn't be riding as the forecast looked grim but after a lill while it looked nice so we hit it!

Heading up I was really not feeling it, the dizzyness seemed worse at slow speeds... we weren't going that slow as we hit the top of the first section in 30mins! not bad... back at it Matt was way up in front and I could just keep Joe in sight. We got to the top of eco challenge in ~1hr not bad really.

Down we went and I love this section! sessioned a drop a couple times and hit most of the good stuff I was feeling fine on the down!

Back up eco challegne again this time was feeling more warmed up and Joe was fading so we were about even :)

Down again I nailed all the good stuff :) We headed out after that and down to the lower berm section so much fun! we were rippin!
We hit the truck trail again and joe opened it up. I was on his heals and we were moving! Floating thru rock gardens ripping the wall rides so much fun. Hit the Road gap no issue! Stopped to let Matt catch up and I took teh front and that was it! I was GONE! hitting every jump, wall ride, and hip on the way down:) I was feeling good!

I dig this trail def my fav right now!

Mission Trails finally

Well Joe was due to leave SD in a few days so we met up with Jeff and Charles for a fun finally in mission trails.

We headed out the visitor center and across the grass lands my head was foggy but ok... We hit up a new climb and it was putting a hurt on me for sure! We criused thru a canyon then took a left and up we went up a few switch backs then up 2 really steep fire road sections... I almost cleared the 2nd one but my foggyness was tossing me for a loop and couldn't stay on my line.

Down barrels we went man this is fun! I was felt smooth dispite the fog in my head growing... We hit the single track home and I was moving well, back to the car and I went south... Stomach was a mess head spinning.... damn inner ear....
