SAMO 50

Are you suggesting that it should be watered down?



See 'cause a solute is....

...oh never mind.

 

2-3 miles shouldn't be too hard to find. Drop into Sycamore then Ranch Center, Art's, Sin Nombre/Two Foxes, Wood Canyon, Guad, Backbone, beach, Overlook, Guad, Wood Canyon out to Ranch Center past the water tower, down Sage, back up Sin Nombre, Ranch Center then out. For whatever reason, the Triunfo start doesn't sound appealing to me. But again, it's your ride.

 

I'll fiddle with it a little more, but the last route I did had pretty much all of that in that order, and added Rosewood into the mix. I was still at 47.5. I'd like to get Rosewood in there, and that would be too much with Triunfo, so I'll work on it a bit more this evening.

 

Right now i'm 90:10 on making this. Need a big elevation day to close that gap on 600k'.

 

But if you promise 50/8000'.......we ride til we hit those numbers.

 

Deal.

Sorry, @UPSed I really did try to squeeze out 50 without doing Triunfo, but I couldn't make it work.

This shall be the route: https://www.strava.com/routes/2776219589544675728

 

I have no goals this year... I'm good with rounding up at the end, Bug!

 

No worries, Matt. It will be something new.

 

I almost fixed that when I saw it... I've done a few others behind the scenes.

 

Single speed?

 

Pfffffft...would I do it any other way?

 

So... I see the "plenty of water available" in the description, and I remember water at the bottom of Guadalasca, but what would you say is the longest stretch between water spots?

I'm thinking two bottles and no pack...

 

You beat me too it......where is the water available locations(miles?)

 

There is a few places throughout Sycamore but you might have to wait for the naked homeless men to finish bathing before you can use the faucet.

 

There's also water at the bottom of Los Robles at Potrero. We pass both of those twice. I don't think there is water between Potrero and the start/finish of the ride though. That would be the longest stretch. I'll have to check the mileage, but probably 10-12.

 

I think there is water just past the bridge after the bottom of the bl@ck beeotch.

 

Oh, and if we go into the campground at the turnaround by the beach, I have to assume there's water there.

 

Yep. There's water everywhere.

 

You guys are crazy. Have fun though.

 

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little scared, The first 25 miles, and the last 1/2 mile are going to be awesome.

 

Looks like my ratio has changed......


100:0

Weather looks awesome. Mostly cloudy with highs in the low sixties. Rain coming in, but looks like it will hold off until later at night. Let's plan to roll by 7:30. REALLY looking forward to this.

Or....

 

Ha-hem... salute.

 

Well, that's what I meant. And why are they spelled differently if they basically mean the same thing?

To SOLUTE is to give/show honor.

To SALUTE is to give/show honor.

 

Your gonna roll down into the campground but you're not gonna cross the highway and go kick it at the beach for a lil while? Might as well go all the way to the very edge of the Left Coast of North America.

 

The current route doesn't have us going to the beach or the campground and I'm fine with that. It's a time sucker on a 50-miler.
