Title: Saturday Cycling...Paradise Loop
Post by: duckwrench13 on July 23, 2008, 08:35:21 AM
Ok slackers... Laguna GP is done, so there's no excuse to miss out....

Saturday, 9-ish, Paradise Loop ride. Meet at Golden Gate Bridge, then get rolling for a 35-40 mile easy paced pedal. [thumbsup]

There will be a couple of stops for  [coffee] and  [bacon]. Last time we had an average pace of around 13mph. We'll probably keep it the same, so no one should get dropped.

Who's in?

We could also make this a Sunday ride too. I know a few folks are picking up some Saturday hours, to make up for Friday and Monday off for GP.

Still the same loop, and probably keep the same time.

Or if you want, you can meet here at the Duck Cave, and have some coffee, bagels, fruit, etc, before taking a leisurely spin over to the GGB.

Bump.

This is a possibility Saturday  [thumbsup]

There is some negotiating going on under my roof for weekend activities.

It's just going to be a simple ride, not "head-butting the dude" this time.

C'mon, y'all know you wanna come along.

Ms. Incredible, I think I hear the Orbea wanting some pavement love. Tell someguy to put down the bacon, and drag him along too!

Yeah, I'd love to come, but we already made sailing plans for tomorrow.  Too much to do, not enough time. [bang]

So put the bikes on the boat, sail over to Sausolito, and join us @ Cafe Triestte. [coffee] [thumbsup] [laugh]

I'm going to be sore tomorrow. Nice ride. No, that was a spectacular ride. Thanks, Guys -  Josh for the variation.  [thumbsup]

Great ride! I still think it was too funny getting the stink-eye from those team guys for passing them in the dirt. HA! ;D Definitely enjoyed doing the loop backwards! And the climb up Camino Alta was fantastic!

I think sprinting up the climb out of Sausolito was a bad idea... I'm gonna pay for it tomorrow. [laugh]

So, next week? Another 40 miles? [thumbsup]

Damn, I should have done this instead of the absolutely nothing I did all day. :P

I've never ridden up there, but I'd like to. Maybe I'll tag along next time. Show y'all what a slow pace is. ;)

9:30ish. 10:30ish   [cheeky]

Did you hear those N Bay team dudes talking after we pulled them all the way across Mill Valley, Strawberry, and the beginnings of Saualito?
He says, "Don't get used to pulling guys like us..." ok, Dip-shit award.  [thumbsup]  [laugh]

I waved them to go ahead & pass so they could re-group, so instead they stayed on your wheel, them mine. What-ev. They were tired, we were fast at the moment, but skip the little br-attitude already.  Sheesh.

Can't wait  for next time. We'll do something a little more ambitious soon.
