Saturday turned out a bit gray and wet, so it looks like there might be some spin classes and trainer rides going onto our calendars for the weekend. However you get your miles in, drop a note and share your ride to get in on the 2012 San Diego Century weekend bike jersey giveaway.

With my friends busy schedule, this morning was my first solo ride since signing up for the SD century. So I decided to ride from mission bay to the south bay. Turn out to be a fun solo ride while meeting some great riders along the way. I can’t wait for May 19th, my very first CENTURY!

Planned to go apx. 50 miles round trip from Poway to the coast with my daughter on the tandem. Mile 3 the triple shifter wouldn’t respond. After 30 minutes of fiddling with it, found out that the internals had worn out - never had that happen before. We decided to turn around because having the front derailer stuck in the lowest gear the entire ride isn’t very fun. About 1 mile away from home the chain snapped, forcing us to walk the rest of the way.
Not the most memorial ride.
Oh, wow Brent, that’s not a ride to put on the PB list:) Glad you two made it home ok, and hope you can get that shifter back in order soon.
On Saturday, I planned to join my friends from RideOnCycling, from Monrovia, CA, at the Pasadena Rosebowl from which we would continue over the hills through Glendale, then north over the Verdugo Hills via La Tuna Canyon. Never found them; thought they were behind or ahead. It was chilly and rainy in the hills. 45 miles later, cold and wet I got home to learn that my team had switched routes because…of the rain! Oh well. On Sunday, I rode from a friends house in Altadena down the Rio Hondo and Los Angeles river trails out to Long Beach, then down to Huntington Beach for lunch…and a return trip by SUV to Altadena! I put in two more miles from my friend’s house back to mine to make it a 60 mile day.
