SoCal asks: Who are you? What do you look like? What do you ride? Where do you ride? You like to pose? Post pics! On the bike, off the bike, posing, whatever!..:D
Didn't we have one of these stickied? Oh well. Fire away. I need to look at local rigs again.
Ok folks it’s that time of year again to start thinking about your goals for 2009. What better goal than to do a century a month to keep your fitness level up and to be ready for any organized ride you wish to do without worrying if you’re “in shape” for it. Riding a century a month is a great way...
I'm headed to Palm Springs for Thanksgiving and am looking for some good roads to ride. I have a 2 hour tempo ride to get in Thanksgiving day and am looking for a good route, then some longer easier rides on Saturday and Sunday ~3 hours decent pace. Is 74 ridable? Is there a loop through Joshua...
I found out the hard way today that Camp Pendleton is closed to cyclists through Monday. I'm guessing by the amount of heavy equipment in the field off in the distance from the old landing strip that they're doing something and they don't want us getting squished. So it ended up being a turn...
I want to ride with my duaghter to a day game at the Ponda Center for a Ducks's game. I'm looking for a ride of about 5-8 miles each way; closer to 5 probably better. Looking at a map, I think starting at Riverdale or Centennial Park might be good. Any tips or negatives to either starting...
I am planning on doing a very challenging ride tomorrow leaving Santa Monica (Ocean & San Vicente) around 7am. I'm probably going to be doing 4 climbs (Latigo, Decker, Yerba Buena and Las Flores) and ~10k ft. of climbing over 90-100 miles. If anyone is interested in joining, please PM me tonight...
Going to be in Temecula for a week and plan on bringing my road bike. Anyone here from this neck of the wood? I am looking for a good road to ride 40-50 miles route. Thanks
At our last adventure, while climbing Skyline, we hit this heavily rutted out area. There were three lines: left, right and middle. The Mayor took the center while I stayed on the right. I looked up and saw The Mayor’s line disappearing into a huge hole ahead. So, I’m thinking, “Oh no,...
Happy new Year!.. I thought about discontinuing the SART thread but heck, I was on the fwy today and a rider gave me the thumbs up. I know him from the trail. So now my fame has not only grown on the trail, but on the roads and now the freeways as well! People on the trail give a shout out when...

I saw an interesting ride from San Marcos to Pechanga via Champagne (Old Hwy 395) then back down Pala Rd. to Couser Canyon Rd. then Lilac to Circle R, Champagne back to San Marcos. 4500 ft. of climbing, just...
Welcome to the Hotel (So)California! Such a lovely place. ...you can ban me Jason, I'm okay with that.
Be careful out there. From the Register HUNTINGTON BEACH – A 26-year-old woman crashed her bicycle into a semi trailer Thursday and was taken to the hospital to be treated for severe cuts and broken bones in her legs, police said. Dalia Albert, of Huntington Beach, was taken to UCI Medical...
I gotta know!:D...I was wrong about JohnR. Some reason I thought he was about 5'5. Boy, found out I was way of after talking to the guy on the phone yesterday (cool guy for being super humanly fast on the climbs!). This would clear up some confusion for some of us inquiring minds. I've ridden...
I purchased a bike from jensonusa.com and was wondering if I can exchange the bike at the Corona, CA retailer instead of shipping it back. I tried to contact jenson with no avail. Has anyone returned or exchanged something they purchased from jensonusa.com at the Corona dealer? Thanks! EDIT:...
I'm planning to go for a ride on Saturday, November 21, that is a bit different. At least 30% of the ride will be on dirt trail or singletrack, the rest on roadways ranging from freeway to two lane, in San Diego County. I'll be leaving from San Diego between 7-8am. On a map, the ride looks like a...

I signed up for my first metric century. Training was going great. Pulled my back over the weekend and have been off my bike for a week now, and maybe a few more days. I think I'll be able to be back in shape for it. Anyway, folks have given me some good tips here on big group rides likes this, so...
Today was a cool ride. JustMe and I share the load down to SealBeach. Taking turns at the front holding 20ish all the way down to the coast. Sure there are many styles of rides and riders but today was one of the best. You know me, take the front and hold a steady pace best I can. Usually hard to...
