I’ll start riding before sunrise and finish after dark. Get your pompoms and come cheer for me from the roadside.

I did this ride last year on my birthday. The Chocolate Chip route is a hard day of climbing, but really satisfying. The food after the ride is awesome. I like it when rides are scheduled for Sundays because it interferes with fewer scheduled events.

Phil’s Cookie Fondo

I got a flier for this event tucked under my the wiper blade on my truck while parked at the Wildflower Century. I hadn’t heard of it before. I’ve wanted to ride up Hwy 46 and Hwy 1 around Cambria, so I figured this would be the day to do it. Later that day is my 30-year high school reunion. Hopefully I can stay awake for it.

Country Coast Classic

Last year I did this ride as my first event since returning to cycling. It was super tough completing the 50 mile ride. This year, I’m signed up for the 75 mile route, and it should be a piece of cake. Allez!

I’m going to be riding the 97 mile route at the SLOBC Wildflower Century. I really enjoy this ride, and the wildflowers this year should be spectacular.
