California Dreaming with Dean

Great ride today. 42 Miles of fat burning with stops at Symbolic Motors, California Bicycles and Ferrari of San Diego. Can't get much better. Winter in San Diego.

Where was DEAN???

No Dean on Saturday. We did have Russ leading the pack and Morrison begging for more miles. Travis wimped out early and Jon G. drug his sorry butt in the rear of the pack as usual. DEAN come out of hiding!!

Saturday Ride

So far at 8:00 AM, Dean, John M. , Jon G. and Travis G.

Todays Ride

Lone Jack to UCSD and back. Notice the %grade on the inside of Torrey Pines.

Rader not riding with team Saturday AM

It's Julie's birthday. I am following Dean the Machine's example and entering the husband of the year competion. I will be riding in the afternoon around 1:30 to 2:00. John R.

The stats

John M looking Manly

Check out John M's new picture. Looking pretty manly here I would say.

Tuesday

7:30 at Lone Jack or if going North Russ will meet At Calle Acervo.

Todays OFFICIAL ride

There seemed to be multiple rides today with multiple times and meeting places. The OFFICIAL ride started at LONE JACK to at 11:00 due to an activity at church. John R and Dean at the front (A) team and Travis, John M. and Jon G. pulling up the rear (B-Team). The B- team was left to battle the 30mph (at least it felt like that) head wind on our own. We climbed 2638 feet over 32.5 miles. There's a rumor of a splinter group calling themselves the Calle Acervo Team. Any sympathizers with this group will be stripped of their Jersey and access to the blog. We will find you!
Sincerely the OFFICIAL Team Proven Winners

Bridges to Harbor

Didn't see the post from Russ so road solo from home to the harbor. Met Elijah as the harbor and did my best to stay in view of his rear and elbows. Saw Tim & Debbie Halverson riding! 41 for me today. What a perfect day to ride! Jonathan

John R., I plan on riding with you at 11:00am after the Primary Party.
Travis

Early Saturday ride

Richard Rice and myself are riding at 8:30. Anyone that wants to join us is welcome, meet at RSF road and Calle Acervo. Russ F

Paving San Elijo

Jonathan, the road maintenance people must have been reading your post. They are repaving San Elijo, Elfin Forest road! I'm riding at 11:00 tomorrow. John R.

Todays ride

I rode east today to take advantage of the 70 degree plus weather. I started at my shop and did Lake Wolford loop. Only 28 miles and 2142 feet of climbing. Great day, just needed some company.

Rader's bike at shop

I'm still paying for getting water into my bearings. They are replacing my bottom bracket (crank) bearings. I'll be back in the saddle on Sat., but because of the Primary breakfast, I'll be going at 11:00 AM.

John R

Not one, but

That's right, 2 flats from ONE pothole. I rode with Jonathan today, we did Elfin Forest in reverse. Only 28 miles but seemed a lot further.

Tuesday Ride?

I am up for a Tuesday ride. Can anyone join me? Jonathan

Or this

Is this way better??

This is a test. I got an application for my Iphone and it will map the ride with google. Just want to see how it looks.

Tomorrow

I'm planning on 8:00 if its not wet,
Jon G.

John R, the good samaritan

John R, thanks for fixing my flat the other day. I ended up getting another flat at the market by RSF. Kim came to save the day. I don't have spare tubes for tomorrow, but I will bring my cell phone. Kim, don't go anywhere! Do tubes come in crates? That's three flats from two rides.

I can go at either time, but would prefer 8 to try out my so cal winter bike clothes. Those looking at the blog, post something to the comments to finalize the time.

Is it 8:00 or 8:30?

I'm planning on 8:00 tomorrow, Saturday morning, but I don't want to ride alone. What's official time?

Elijah has returned again!

He ran in front of the chariots, he ran me into the ground when training for marathons, and now he is doing it again on a bike! Welcome to the Proven Winners Bike Team, Elijah! Elijah is a name I coined for Russ in our past running days. If takes a flat to slow you down, then I am bringing the tacks!

8:00 AM tomorrow at the usual place.

Great work on the photos Jon G. I was behind everyone yesterday and it was a photo all those Proven Winners jersys grouped together. An inspring site. Lets do another group photo with some great back ground on one of our rides and make it the main photo on the blog.

The Christmas Holiday's were not kind to John. Too much eggnog!

Todays ride

Started at Lone Jack, with the whole group minus Dean and Jonathan. We did the Santaluz loop with the usual Morrison twist. Let's add a few miles and another hill (Torrey Pines) thank you John. Russ had a flat but had made special arrangements with John Rader to have his own personal mechanic for the ride. Russ never got his hands dirty. I know the next scheduled ride is Saturday at 8:30. If anybody but myself is riding tomorrow, please chime in. We had our guest rider today again with Ian joining us.
