Sunday I met up with about 30 people from Bikeforums.net for our Slacker Century bike ride. It was 53 miles from Huntington Beach to Oceanside and back so 106 miles total. Here is the actual route online if you want to see it. It was supposed to be a sloooow fun ride but this is Southern California where everybody rides at least 150 miles a week.
I didn’t really hydrate properly or eat enough after the halfway point so I was really dragging toward the end. I finally got a Vitamin Water from a grocery story and wow, that stuff was like crack. I had tons of energy after that. I couldn’t keep up with the fast people but it was still a fun time…good to see the gang again and nice to ride with someone other than myself for a change. The roads n the OC (Orange County for those that don’t watch tv) are much better for cycling so I may head back there once a month for training.
My pics are posted in the gallery. You have to weed thru some earlier pics from a separate trip to Cali Science Center. I didn’t take many during the actual ride because my tongue was dragging most of the way.
