•Saturday’s Ride 12/13/08:
(SLO Bound)After much hoping that the rain waits til Sunday, lets ride from Kman at 8 am and ride to San Luis and back again.....head out Curabaril, Santa Ysabel to 41 to left on Templeton Rd. to left on El Pomar and straight on Vineyard to left on 46 to right up York Mt. to 46 to left on Old Creek down to Cayucos. From Cayucos lets turn left on 1 to right on South Bay Blvd to left on Turri to left on LOVR. Continue on LOVR to Foothill and as an option we can continue on LOVR for less than a mile and turn right up Perfumo canyon and ride to the top (6 mi climb) then back to LOVR to Foothill to New Frontiers for some refreshments. After eats we will ride up the Grade to Santa Margarita exit and home on El Camino.

Last Saturday’s Ride:
Eight riders enjoyed a great ride on less travelled roads in untypical directions as we rode to Geneseo all the way to Union and 46. The short leg on 46 down to Estrella was rather painless what with the wide shoulder and rumble strip separating car from rider and after pulling over to the right the group was able to safely cross 46 to Estrella. From there we were rewarded with wonderful new pavement that meandered through pristine ranch land and yummies at the coffee shop in San Miguel. The ride back from San Miguel on San Marcos and Chimney Rock demonstrated how travelling the same route but in the opposite direction can yield a fresh new look to familiar landscapes...such as a few downhills that seemed much more down when riding them up!!

New Cycling Jerseys are in:
Special pricing for Team K members. They will be available at our Team Socials Team members can purchase them at cost ($56.00) versus retail pricing of $75.00.

Castle to Coast, 8.2 mile run/race is Saturday, January 17, 2009. Let's see how many team members we can get to run this event in their team shirt. If anybody doesn't have one let me know. We could do it as our long run of the weekend. Start together like a Team K-Man K-Wave. We can gather together afterward for a bite to eat and a warmer-upper.
