Spring update

It's been a busy spring, and the size of The Unposted has grown unmanageably. Here's the stuff I can think of off the top of my head:

Solvang Century
Leo and I rode the 50 miler in Solvang. It was a beautiful day, and we had a great time. Leo got kind of bonky at about 35 miles, but with some rest and gel products, he found his mojo and pulled it off. Time was about 5 1/2 hours.

Tour of the Unknown Coast
Leo and I signed up for the 100K and Julia and Simon for the 20M. Due to a road collapse on the Avenue of the Giants, both the 100K and 50M rides were shortened to 48M, and the 100M ride went on the freeway around the washout.

The weather was fan-tastic. It was clear and pleasant until about 5pm, when the icy fog started to come in. 100M riders said the wind was not too bad at the coast. I really was sorry I didn't do the whole thing.

It turned out later that Leo was coming down with a cold, and he felt bad on the ride from the start. We ended up doing about 10 miles, then turning around. Since we got back early, I joined Julia and Simon on their ride, which retraced the path, then turns right and goes up a canyon. It was all pretty nice.

I finally remembered to check my raffle tickets, and I won a huge can of Heed energy drink. It tastes bad, even when its free.

Sequoia Upcoming
The Sequoia century is in a few weeks. I don't think we're signed up, and at this point, I think its not going to happen. I know Rune is signed up for it. Next year, I'll get back to it...

Shasta again?
The Patmore-Zarcone family has planned to ride in the Shasta century again this year. Probably not more than the 100K. Anyone else want to come along? We had a great time visiting that great cabin in the woods.
