Title: Palm Desert Century
Post by: Anthony Smith on October 17, 2011, 01:12:18 PM
I'm going to do the Palm Desert Century (http://www.shadowtour.com/Century_Rides/2011_Palm_Desert.htm (http://www.shadowtour.com/Century_Rides/2011_Palm_Desert.htm)) Nov. 12, 2011. Anyone else doing it or planning to?

If it's not the "first inaugural", then maybe.  :-/

I'm a maybe for it.  My wife and I are thinking of doing it for our anniversary but trying to figure out what to do with our loving teenage son and pets.  If we do it, we'll be at a relaxed pace.

Do you do the ride Anthony?  How was it out there?  We couldn't find a place for our son and then saw the weather and said.....next anniversary.  I hope you had a good ride!

I did and yes it rained, hard. It rained at the beginning of the tour and also at the end (harder). The course was pretty easy and if it wasn't for the rain, it would have been a great century.  I will do it again next year (if it doesn't rain).

Glad you had a good ride overall.  We want to do it next year, maybe with 12 months to prepare we can arrange something for the son and animals so we can do the ride next year.  You doing Palomar again this week?  Presuming no rain, I'll be out there.

Yeah, we're planning on Palomar this Saturday.  At least 4 of us.  Meet at usual 8:30.

8:30?  Last month when we did Palomar we started at 8AM and I thought Diana said something about 8 last Sunday but I wasn't sure.

There was discussion at the Sunday ride. Since it may be cool that day, it was finally decided to keep the start at 8:30 to try to hit the warm part of the day, if there is such a thing. - Karl

Thanks Karl.  You riding to the top?  Nerius, keep off of Diana's bad list and wait for us all of us at the top before heading back.

As much as I love the pain (especially the in the back), I won't be able to do the Saturday ride. I'm hoping that the weather keeps for Sunday, otherwise I will see you all on TGD :)
