3/3/01 70 SLO overnight - San Luis to Cambria, then backtrack to Morro Bay ~360 WONDERFUL ride. Weather was great, and the support terrific. We rode along highway one much of the way, with gorgeous views and good rolling hills. And at the end of 70 miles, I felt like I could keep going!
3/4/01 13 Morro Bay to SLO ~140

What a nightmare, the complete opposite of yesterday. We were supposed to do 42 miles, but the wind was blowing so fiercely we decided to just go 15 back to the cars. The 40 mph headwinds were too much for me. I couldn't stay upright with the force pushing me one way and the other. I was separated from the group and thought I was lost. I had to walk my bike just so I could keep moving. Eventually an angel stopped to SAG me. It wounded my pride that I had to SAG, especially since I felt strong enough to keep riding. The wind just didn't cooperate, and I didn't like the feeling of being alone on a deserted country road going less than a mile per hour!

2/24/01 21.5 Exercise Bike 60 Rain meant another long gym ride. Boring!
2/25/01 40 Golden Gate Park to Fairfax ~360

Great ride! The occasional rain and wet road made It slow going, but the views were terrific. We rode through the Presidio, crossed the Gold Gate Bridge, we down through Sausalito, throught the marshlands in Mill Valley and stopped for lunch in Fairfax. A long day, but a wonderful ride.

2/3/01 17 Lake Merced Loop 75- A little disappointed in this ride, since the route they chose cut out two great hills in the Presidio, but I finished it fast, and the weather could not be beat - sunny, gorgeous views of the ocean.
2/4/01 54 Soquel to Watsonville Loop ~360

GREAT ride! The weather was amazing - 70, sunny, some headwinds that were'nt to fun but overall a terrific day for riding. We took our time, so it was a long day, but it was nice to get a feel for being out that long. Good company too.
