The Rest of September Rides

Wed. 9-15: Shady Canyon Loop - Through Shady Canyon to Culver to Campus around Turtle Rock Drive, back to Campus and through Shady Canyon. 21 miles.

Sun. 9-19: 2nd half of the 100 mile MS bike ride - Started in Oceanside, then inland hills to Carlsbad and back to Oceanside. Went by myself since David had a meeting. At mile 46, I had a flat tire on PCH in Carlsbad. Got it fixed. Started riding and noticed that my back tire was flat also. But, I only had one tube with me & it was 6 pm. I called David. He said to start walking back to the car & ask a bicyclist if they had an extra tube since it would take him too long to come pick me up. No luck. Got dark. Walked 7 miles back to car. It took 2 1/2 hours. 52 miles.

Fri. 9-24: Shady Canyon Loop. 21 miles.

Sun. 9-26: Bake, Glen Ranch, Santiago Canyon. 37 miles.

Wed. 9-29: Back Bay Loop. 24 miles.

September Starts out Big

Sat. 8-28: The Rut up Bake and Glen Ranch. 28 miles.

Wed. 9-1: Back Bay Loop. 24 miles.

Sun. 9-5: David and I rode to Mission Bay in San Diego. Anne Marie picked us up at the Hilton. My sit bones were sore because I forgot to put on an anti-chafing creme. Torry Pines hill was harder than I thought because it was longer than I had anticipated. There was a mobile bike repair shop at the top & he was handing out water and bananas - changed my attitude about continuing the ride! My longest ride to date, but not quite the century ride than I had hoped for. 87 miles.

Thur. 9-9: Back Bay Loop. 24 miles.

2010 Miles to Date: Debbie 696, Carol 28+24+87+24/2025

Did I take my own advice?

On Thursday the 15th - no. I slept in & then went for a ride. It was blistering hot, so I shortened my ride in Shady Canyon & took the Ridgeline hill home. 14 miles.

Sunday the 18th - rode Santiago Canyon with David. Tried to get up at 5:30 to ride by 6:30 - am that is! But slept a little longer & left by 7. Also, David let me use his Zipp wheels - definately made me go faster!!! 38 miles.

Tuesday the 20th - left at 7am & rode the Rut. Too much traffic & too many trucks on Bake and Sand Canyon for my liking. 30 miles.

Thursday the 22nd - Back Bay loop. 20 miles.
