Hey Doug,
"Sometimes you’re better off not knowing stuff!
Like the real temp! "
Actually for me, this is vital. I get dehydrated really fast unless I am
actively trying to avoid it. I had an evaporative cooling vest with me
yesterday which saved me.
"We re-filled at Cooks and hung out for quite a
while, some guys got food. Then we took the bike path (old El Toro) down to
Portola / Santa Margarita Pkwy, so if you were
headed up that’s probably where you missed us."I figured this was the case. I
thought for sure that this is where I'd find you guys.
"It actually seemed
cooler in MV than the canyon so if you saw 95 on SM Pkwy it was triple digits
back in the
canyon."I've always been amazed by this. Mid-80s in Ladera Ranch always seems
to be low- to mid-90s in RSM. The canyon did seem hotter, but I honestly was
too busy suffering up the climbs to tell. By the time I dropped back down
toward Dana Point, it seemed downright cold, but it was still 87 degrees.I wish
I would have found the group. It looks like it was a fun ride. Maybe next
time.Oh, about those handlebars. I think I might pass. I was thinking of using
and aerobar and yesterdays ride proved to me why I dislike them so much in the
first place. They take up space on the handlebars that I actually use for my
hands.Take care,Joe

Hi Doug,
We have a sick one at home. Not the same one. The other one. Anyway, I wasn't
able to make it to the start of the ride, but thought I'd try and find you
guys. I wanted to get in some hills so I headed out from my place and headed
over to Ortega Highway
and then up Antonio Parkway.
Man, it was windy going up Antonio! I went up to Santa Margarita Parkway (it
was 92
degrees when I got there. Geez!). I made a left and head up SM Pkwy toward El
Toro, figuring I might be able to find you on your route. I headed
up and up until I got to Cook's Corner, but not Riv group. I turned right and
headed back toward Rancho Santa Margarita via the canyon. Once I got back to SM
Pkwy it was 95
degrees! I headed back down Antonio. The wind had changed so I didn't have the
nice tailwind that I would have expected. I couldn't wait to get back down to
the coast. My head was beginning to hurt from dehydration. Close to 6o miles
total after a short out and back into San
Clemente. Not too shabby, but it would have been nice
to see you guys. I was even on the AHH.
Hope you ride went well. Sorry I missed it!
Joe

Joe:
Sunday, April 19. Meet at the Irvine train station (Barranca & Ada)
around 9 and ride by 9:30. Santiago Cyn plus a detour to the start-finish
line of the ’84 Olympic road course in MV. We’ll throw in a
couple of dirt options (Peters Cyn and a cut thru Whiting Ranch) that parallel
the course so people can either stick to pavement or get dirty and still end up
together. Total distance around 40 miles. We may have some guys
coming from LA & not sure if they’ll drive or Metrolink. Check
the Flickr site for any last minute updates or changes:

Hope you can make it. Everything is green now.
>From now on, So Cal’s only gonna get drier and “more
golden”.

Hi Doug,
This weekend is the Riv ride. What day, time. place? I'm trying to figure out
if I can make it work.

Patrick makes an important point. Bars, saddles and
pedals all work together. Your entire weight is supported on your butt,
two feet and two hands, and distributed among those 5 points. Toss in
medical constraints (back, knees, wrists, etc.) and it’s a multi-variate
challenge. Love my Noodles, Brooks, and Grip Kings (sounds like I been
hitting the kool aid!) but as well as they satisfy my needs, that combo may be
a torture rack for someone else. This is how we all wind up with a shop
full of bike parts after a few years cycling.
FS: Half dozen each h’bars, seats and stems.
Large selection; make offer J.

Don: I wasn't pooh pooh-ing them, just expressing another opinion on my own
behalf.
I'm glad you find them comfortable!

patrick,
i agree about saddle position, but my case is unique. i have rotated scoliosis,
degenerate disc disease, and severe arthritis. if i sit too upright, i put too
much pressure on my lower back, so, i try to balance my position on my bike
between too low and too high. i do a lot of core work and upper body work in
the gym to compensate for my situation. everybody is different.
