Ride Name: Fatcyclist's 100 Miles of Nowhere - 11-04-17 - Road Century
When: Saturday, November 4th
Time: 7:00 AM
Where: Heroes Park, Lake Forest, 25420 Jeronimo Road Lake Forest, CA 92630
Ride Description or Details:
100 Mile road ride. Fatcyclist's fundraiser; but you can just come out and ride a part or all. Donate or not; come have fun or heckle. 3x up and down the whole Aliso Creek Trail. Each time we get to Cook's we stop for a quick beer. On the last stop, it's more than one beer. On the second lap we do a coaster race; from near Cook's back to Heroes without pedalling - about 7 miles.
Fatty has yet to announce his event or charity this year. He may not at all. If you feel in a giving mood, donate to something good.
If you want to do just part of it, we'll be at Heroes 5 times during the ride. I post in chalk on the bike path what time and what direction we are heading.
Late notice and I'm not fully prepared; but we're doing it.

Roadie thread #4.

 

Guy taking the selfie looks angry.... Maybe wasn't such a fun ride.

But then again could be just squinting to see 'cause forgot the glasses.

I could do 1 of the 3 runs and enjoy it. TFPU!

 

I'll take this over an eBike discussion any day of a century!
looks like a good time!

Jim? Is that you concentrating on those selfies?

 

Yep, I'm the selfie dude.

 

I like the number plate a lot!

 

Ain't nobody making you read em! Besides, riding bikes is fun!

 

Is this the same Fat Cyclist with the now-defunct blog? He wont be announcing it there.

 

Number plates were for signing up for previous events. $85 with most going to charity.
Yes, Fatty ended his blog.
He now contributes to Red Kite Prayer and is on a lot of podcasts.
He recently mentioned 100 MON, but nothing official for this year yet.

 

This thread is called "Trailhead." Please abide. There is a Roadie forum if you must.

 

And this ride is on a trail: Aliso Creek Trail!

 

Lighten up, Francis.
