I woke up on Saturday cold and ready to hit the road. After a few ‘rolling’ hills into Malibu, we made it to lunch at a park near Pepperdine. Weather was overcast – perfect riding weather! Rode into Los Angeles around 2:30 PM. My cell was dead and wasn’t able to take any pictures but [...]
Today’s recap is going to be short because my iPhone battery is nearly dead. I finished 85.5 miles – was a fantastic weather day. Not too cold – not too hot – not really hot at all mostly overcast. No pictures from my phone – only on the other camera. Will post more photos soon. [...]
“Mommie – are those boys in dresses?”. Day 5 was a blast – different route from last year and shorter. The cursing we did last year at the head winds paid off!!!! 41 miles done – we are in Lompoc staying the night. Was a short day but a fun day. Another day started with [...]
Guess who is half way to LA?! Today began very very cold – very cold. We rode out and temps were in the low 50s. Sun finally came out later in the day. The photo is our half way to LA memorial shot! Today I rode 97.7 miles – we are staying the night in [...]
I’m loving the comments y’all. Such fun to look forward to! Butt butter is this lovely lotion like stuff that you apply to your ‘junk’ to avoid chafing. It’s like gold! Knee remains stable. And now some randomness… Someone dropped their camera in the outhouse and yes proceeded to fish it out. OMG nasty! We [...]
Update – as you can see in the photos I was taped up. Lots of stretching and Stella (I mean Colbdog) pulled right on through!!! You’ll probably hear me scream like a 5 year old when the tape is removed. Xoxo
So…you know Stella and how she got her groove back? We Colby got his groove back…and the sunburn to proove it too!!! Today’s ride was 67 miles and it was a beautiful ride…sporting my new POS PEDS jersey! This morning began with a little jaunt up quad buster which was quite the accomplishment. The friends [...]
Alarm went off at 0430. After turning it off, David (my tentmate) and I sort of tossed and groaned. Others around us continued to snore….they must be the fast ones?! We got up, had breakfast and were ready to start our journey. With great intentions we walked over to bike parking and there was a [...]
Our day started bright and early. Our concern was the dreaded weather. Opening ceremonies were beautiful. I was in great company. Weather was fabulous riding out of San Francisco – our prayers were answered. As we progress throughout the day, the weather got gloomier and gloomier. We were riding in 60s most of the day. [...]
YES – I decided to conquer it again! ALC 9 was last June and was the best week of my entire life! My blog crashed in August’2010 so I’ll be posting recaps of ALC9 soon. In the meantime, I am shy of my goal so I would love the support. CLICK HERE to support me [...]
