Had a great first day making it to santa cruz in 8 hours for 85 miles the city was a little crazy but all went well. AJ had a flat after 26 miles and was back up and running. Now AJ know what I was talking about when I talk about S.B. Tomorrow we climb to Big Sur over 1000 ft.

Sounds wonderful and I am sure you had the tea ready when they arrived.
ReplyDeleteNothing like a burning sensation to get you out of the saddle.. getting back on tomorrow is going to be a toughie ;-)
I suggested this to Pat one time and he looked at me with a funny expression. I think I mentioned it you you on the first leg of the trip. A nice cool 1-2 inch stake between you and the saddle was on old trick. If you are lucky, you would have a nice tender, medium rare dinner, add some greens and ready to eat when you arrive!
I made the same mistake again! Steak not Stake... that was reserved for the Opus Dei bike ride.
ReplyDeleteNo, I think STAKE is correct - the trash can turkey I cooked for Roundtable last night had just rode in from Foster Farms and was complaining of SB. I took care of it with some heat treatments. Good luck with the remainder of your journey!
