Bike:
Ride: 02/01/90 - In preparation for the upcoming Coast ride there will be a century plus option this Saturday. We will leave A-Kman at 8 am (more or less) and I propose that we head out to Templeton road to left on Templeton then becomes Vineyard, take Vineyard to 46, cross, then continue on Vineyard to Willow creek. We take a right on Willowcreek to Peachy, left on Peachy to return to Vineyard. Then Right on Vineyard to Adelaida. Then continue right up Adelaida and down to Paso for our first refreshment stop (about 37miles into the ride) Cafe Vio or Cider Creek (TBD during the ride)...Riders wanting a shorter ride (45ish mi) can leave on River Rd and return to Akman by River, Neil Springs, Hollyhock etc. For a longer ride we will continue on Niblick and continue as it turns in to Linne Road then Geneseo and go all the way to Creston Road. For a 58 ish ride you then go right on Creston all the way to left on (South) El Pomar and continue on all the way down the Chicago grade to the left on Homestead and smell the barn all the way home. Maps 9 and 15 have the roads mentioned. For those wishing to do the century option we will leave the rest of the group at Creston Road heading left toward Creston, take Camp 8 to 41 and then take 41 to Shandon for a food and drink break at about 60 miles. Then head back by way of Shell Creek and a fast ride down La Panza. We can refuel if necessary at the store in Creston or continue straight down 41 to cripple creek to South El Pomar and down the Chicago grade, Homestead and home. 104 miles. Piece of cake! (or Piece of Burrito (chorizo) as Terry would say)
•Last Saturday’s Ride: Thanks to cell phones Louise, Terry, Paul and Mark G. had a great ride down to the coast and back again! Louise was so unsure about the weather that by the time she decided to give it a try it was too late to ride to the start so she drove...No one was there so she was ready to leave when she got a call from Paul asking about the ride...they decided to try to meet between 9 and 10 am. Still no one showed so Louise called Terry and Penny answered saying that Terry was on his way...Terry arrived a bit later and said that he had decided he would just turn around and go home...in lieu of that they went to Colby Jack's where they were having coffee when Mark called and asked where everyone was...he then joined Louise and Terry and all three left and headed out to 46 and Vineyard where they met Paul and the rest is history!!! And they weren't the only ones out on the road...Go For It headed out Pozo way, Art's Cyclery (20ish riders strong) was seen heading up 46 with SAG, and Team Webcor had an equally large group riding up Old Creek with SAG. We have since learned that all was not coffee and muffins on Saturday and our best wishes go out to Mike L. for a complete and swift recovery!!!
