Pints and Pedals Group Ride

[gest24]

Here's the official thread. All are welcome!

We're going to start from the Ferry Landing in Coronado. From there we'll ride down to the strand, ride down into IB and turn around and come back. But the best part is, after we get back to the cars its time to hit the CBC for lunch and a couple pints!

I know Paul is healed up enough to ride now and Jon is always down to ride. So the total so far is 3!

[Paul]

Spankies for this guy. But I will have baggys for lunch.;)

[jr_scheiBe]

looking at the group so far we may actually get done early and I can stay for lunch...

[gest24]

Just bumping it to try and spark some more interest.
Will, you in or not?

[hypermiler]

What time of day does the ride start? I'm just getting a bike together to do the Rosarito-Ensenada on Sept 29th. This could be a good shakedown run.

OOPS---I just saw the 10 am start time...thanks!

[Paul]

Location: Ferry Landing Coronado
Time: 10:00 AM

[gest24]

The more the merrier!

[John@PureMS]

Oh man, I'd totally take my new bike out for that ride (esp. if my pedals finally come in between now and then) unfortunately, it's a bit far for me to get too, as I've been out of a car for a couple of weeks now. If I could manage to dig up a ride to/from, I'd be there

[hypermiler]

My bro-in-law just built me this sweet Trek 2300 for the Rosarito-Ensenada ride. He also has a mint 2001 Fuji that I could use. My relic is an SR semi-pro, baby blue metallic. Any of you gents plan on doing that ride on Sept 29th??

[gest24]

I would do the ride on the 29th if I would've had more notice. But work becons almost all my free time anymore.

[gest24]

Looks like we lost one for tomorrow. Everyone else come on out for some fun!

[hypermiler]

Well guys it looks like I just missed you. I got to the parking lot around 10:10 and saw nobody. When I got back I found 2 small Chevy SUV's with 2 Trek bikes on racks...and one of them had the passenger door wide open. Someone was in a BIG hurry for a beer.
Was that you?
Anyway it was a nice ride; sunny nice ocean breeze etc.
How many showed up?

[Paul]

just 3, Jon, Kerry, and myself. Since we figured no one else was coming we left on time. Was a great ride, gorgeous weather.

[jr_scheiBe]

ok so lets start working on round 2.....

[Paul]

Can't ride Coronado this Saturday, they've got the navy charity triathalon...

We can ride somewhere else.

[protijy337]

yea round two, sorry I missed this one.

I'm down for next saturday or sunday, I vote Leave from commuter lot @ sorrento valley road and carmel valley (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=loc:+32.931408,-117.242768&ie=UTF8&ll=32.9341,-117.242489&spn=0.011094,0.024505&z=15&iwloc=addr&om=1)


we could ride up the 56 train thru rancho santa fe to 101 and stop some where on 101 for a bit.... then ride back

[hypermiler]

I need more seat time B-4 mexico, hills too; but I've got a big H.O. slot car race Saturday in Cucamonga....Sunday again?

relized Redbul air race is saturday and sunday I need to do a good 40-50 miles before Rosarito in 2 weeks (anyone wanna go with us?)

Leaving from Sorrento valley ~10am doing 40-45miles easy pace 16-17mph avg

[hypermiler]

I can go if it's Sunday. Bro-in-law and I are doing the Rosarito/Ensenada. He has the diesel caddy for sale; I drive a rabbit, we are old recycled Volvo nuts.

Another great ride is from Oceanside harbor to San Juan Capistrano Jack-in-box and back. ~50+...fairly easy.

[gest24]

Looks like it could be a fun ride.

[hypermiler]

Yeah, it goes up thru the base along the coast on a bike path, up thru the San Onofre campgrounds and into the OC past Dana Point to SJC. Nice ride, flat along the coast and then hilly in OC..fun and it has the same distance as Rosarito/Ensenada

[hypermiler]

Sorry for the double post. I just got word that the big slot car race in the IE is postponed...so if SAturday is better for you guys...can-do that day now also. I'll bet I can get Leon (bro-in-law) to join us

[hypermiler]

Bump up...any rides this weekend?

[Paul]

questionable with the coming rain, we may just play it by ear

[hypermiler]

You REALLY think it will rain? I'm just not buying it.

BTW, tomorrow morning (Sat 9/22) Leon and I are going to ride from Serra Mesa near Fry's to Lake Miramar, do 4 laps, then ride back. We depart at 7 am.

Also, we stop at O'briens for a Belgium brew Friday nights around 6pm. Join us?

[hypermiler]

Yup that map looks just like the sky outside...pretty clear, with a little band of green over the inland mts...'cuyamaca'...indian for 'where it rains'.

I'm just predicting there won't be enough rain at lake Miramar, or Sorrento Valley, tomorrow morning, to make you turn on the wipers.

[jr_scheiBe]

Hey Paul whats next weekend look like? I'll be in town.

[gest24]

Might end up being another Black Mountain Road tour.

[hypermiler]

Well, I'm splitting early tomorrow afternoon and gonna do 10 laps around lake miramar, in preparation for the Rosarito-Ensenada ride on Saturday. If you can make it...I'll be the old guy on the purple Trek 2300.
See you there or see you saturday.

[Paul]

Possibly my place to black mtn rd to 56W to El Camino Real to wherever... who knows.

I think the whole climbing thing is a great idea... Flat laps around the lake are good for training but the weekend rides should be new "Epics".

[Paul]

we'll do some climbing I'm sure.

How many people on here are doing R2E? I'll be down there with a crew :tup2:

[hypermiler]

Hey man I'm in R2E!!! Look for me. I'm wearing a green 'Lithuanian Basketball Team' Tie-died shirt (#7 Garcia) and camo shorts over my spandex. Riding a purple/carbon fiber tube Trek 2300. Sporting a white goatee. Say HI!

I think I saw you... I did a quick 3 laps on the bike then 1 lap running. black/white Orca tri suit

[hypermiler]

I was at Miramar thursday...rode for 3 hrs...I did think I noticed someone on a bike that was the same as someone running...

And I saw you protijy337 in Rosarito...right at the start...you came from behind me in that log-jam start...I noticed red Schwinn, then black baggies, then big bold NU in white letters on the back of your jersey...since I don't know your name I just yelled out So Cal Euro...but by that time you were too far ahead of me to hear...I had a great time, it was a fun ride, great weather and scenery.

On to tour de Poway??

hahahahahah no way! hahahahahaha

yea that start is always such a mess! I think I'm gonna do Elite start next time :cool:

I felt good and tossed the gantlet down on my friends @ ~ mile 7-8 when the traffic cleared a bit I dropped the hammer and never looked back :p

Ended up doing it in 2:40, I was pretty happy as my goal was 2:45, not bad for a fat kid :tup2:

Def a great ride! and the ensuing party was just as insane! bikes, beers, and boobies good stuff!


Next up for me is the 12hrs of temecula (3 man team) nov 17th then prob the Solveing century in march :p

[hypermiler]

The guy I sat next to one the bus ride back does the Solvang every year...he''l be doing the century. My Lithuanian Basketball Olympic jersey was the big hit...the official photgrapher even interviewed me about it when we went up to the online reg line to get our packets ( he knew the history of it as did others that asked me about it)...the whole day was fun, and yes lots of nice bewby scenery to be sure.
I had some derailuer probs and I'm prolly twice your age but we were in well under 4 hrs...only stopped to squirt.
Lots of bad bike traffic and jerks with Ipods clogging up the works

[gest24]

Sounds like it was a good time. Too bad I didn't have enough time to plan for it. Maybe next time.

nice man yea there were alot of unique jerseys, I even caught the wheel of a road team sponsored by the mirage hotel/casino. They were movin and I tried to take a couple pulls for them as they led me out on El tigre :tup:

I def think the Ipods need to be band! I mean you can use one and be ok if you leave it low but at one point this guy swerved into a pace line I was in 3 times almost causing a HUGE stackup before someone grabbed his shoulder and knocked the ear bud out of his ear to give him an earfull!

Def fun time this is my 3rd ride I think I'll do the elite start next time see if I can get to 2:30 :) (that will give me 10 more mins to drink after) and if you think there were B(o)(o)Bs on the road the bars in Ensenada were even better I love drunk 18 yr old coeds :p

[hypermiler]

I usta spend weekends in ensenada 3 weeks out of every month...the girls from la would have stripping contests in hussongs...always wild...but that was then...now my girls will be that age soon and i gotta be sure they never hear of ensenada hahaha...I would have partied in town but bro-in-law wanted lobster at newport instead...good times still...
next time.
we need to ride together keep posting here!!

[protijy337]

ye anext few weekends I'm booked but another SCE pedals and pints is in order...... Maybe a ride from Mission bay (easy parking and staging in bay park) to Pizza Port Solana Beach?

we can go up and over Mt soledad up the scrips pier climb and go around Mt Soledad on the way back :tup:

[hypermiler]
