So in order to NOT fail on another century I wanted to increase my mileage and the amount I can climb in a single ride. With the rides up to Mt. Baldy increasing my mileage and climbing to 70 plus miles and 8 thousand plus feet I felt ready for the Conejo century with more […]
I am going to try to start regularly updating this blog once again. We’ll see what happens. My last post was my failure to finish the Tour de Foothills in November of last year. Since then I have seriously upped my cycling and have not only started 2 centuries since then, but finished them both! […]
Tuan and I went for a ride yesterday with a couple of Tuan’s co-workers. We met up at 8 AM, here near the Nike missile site. It was already pretty warm, but not oppressively so. Rick and Ron were already there and ready to go. Ron is a bike patrol rider, off-duty today, but he […]

This was Stan’s first trip to Chantry Flat. We got a late start but the shade on the trail helped tremendously. More later.

Beag was with on this ride. So there were more stops and for longer times. She did great!
I woke up at 5, was on the road before 7 and back in my car at 9. That last half mile was still damn hot! I love this ride. Plenty to work on, technical sections, a ton of singletrack. I also need to investigate the trail all the way up to Mt. Wilson.
Cloudy, cool, perfect!
About 48:30 again!
