Weather looks awesome. Mostly cloudy with highs in the low sixties. Rain coming in, but looks like it will hold off until later at night. Let's plan to roll by 7:30. REALLY looking forward to this.

Bummed, but I’m out due to injury. Nothing major just Tendonitis in my right wrist that flares up sometimes. I haven’t ridden all week. Have a great ride

He's borrowing a SS.

Bummer, sorry to hear. Heal up fast!

 

[buggravy]

The current route doesn't have us going to the beach or the campground and I'm fine with that. It's a time sucker on a 50-miler.

I figured if anyone needs a pit stop in the campground it's an easy flat 1/2ish mile, but no need to do it just to do it on an already long ride if not. That can be an audible.

 

[Faust29]

I'm looking forward to this... See you guys in the morning.

Oh shoot, is this tomorrow? Dang it. I am double booked. I have to play Throw Throw Burrito with my daughter and wife.

Good Hunting Gentleman!

 

[Luis]

Faustie hinted as much. And the numbers look obscene.

One day I might kidnap you and your bike and your helmet and shoes and pack and gloves and drop you off at the bottom of the Grand Canyon.

Paper is always flat

My watch says I burned almost 8000 calories today. I figure I only took in about 1500. That may explain the feeling of impending death the last 20 miles.

The HR data and Strava suffer score put this well into the top 10 most physically demanding rides I've done. Matt is no longer allowed to plan routes.

How did that happen? Mine only said 4600 calories.

Must have been those extra 600' you climbed.

I get a different formula based on age.
