Bad timing here....I do core, lift weights and do a track workout on Tuesday and Thursday. We don't count indoor tracks workouts so I planned on a good ride today.
Well nature finally caught up with us SoCal folks. Wild fires all around me. All the places I usually ride was ablaze with fire. Air quality is dangerous for riding.
Track tomorrow and hoping Friday the air is back to acceptable.
Good news is our house is still standing, some are not so lucky.
Take care. Prayers from the East coast to all our West coast pals!0 -

A fellow San Diegan! I had no idea
I would offer to go riding with you but you would probably blow my wheels off 
Glad to hear you're safe, hope you stay that way! So far we've had good luck in East County (except for the heat), and Coronado is pretty much always a nice ride, especially if you like a constant on-shore wind (nice tailwind heading out, nasty headwind coming back in) 0 -
Any chance I can still get in on this as an alternate?

when I get chance, I'll wade through the thread and sort out an "alternates" list - as I'm sure there have been a few people who wanted to be "on the list" just in case. At the moment, I'm on the iPad, and it's not the easiest thing to trawl through big messy threads like this one with, so it may have to wait until I fire the main computer back up tomorrow...0

Need a big effort from Team 2 this weekend to move off last place
plenty of good riders here to make this happen time to dig in for the Team :happy:0 -

I Like It!
Much more authoritative
900km behind the lead guys............0 -
Get to work Team 4. The current difference to Team 1 is nominal and about the mileage I plan to ride in the next few days anyhow. I should be good for 300+ miles next week. Let's see the rest of you post some big numbers too.0

So I tried to copy the log and edit it to add rides on my iPad - that worked poorly. And considering how persnickety TBY gets when you foulup the posting, I'll be posting the weekend ride info with a Monday data dump when I get back to work (it's the only computer that's not a tablet I can access) then. Some things are easier done on a full size machine.0

no worries mate, I'll enter the figures from strava as "provisionals" if I get the chance, until you declare... but it won't be tonight, I'm trifle "cooked" at the moment...0 -
I want to apologize to my team. I spent all morning in a C-Section and didn't get a chance to ride. I'll see what I can do later today but it's not looking good so far. On the plus side, we delivered 11 healthy happy labrador puppies. :drinker: :drinker:0

Here is a random question. What do you consider a "big" km ride?0

I'm grateful to the rest of my team. On a day when I couldn't get in a good ride, they came through in spades! Way to go Team 4!!:drinker: :drinker: :drinker:0

400k or more. Anything less is kiddie pool stuff.0 -
Think I'd have had to ride up and down the street a couple of extra times - my OCD would have been twitching at 200m short of the round figure...

My apologies to Team 4... the heat and the wildfires kept me off the bike Thurs and Fri, and out of town activities yesterday. However I'm on a quest to get a massive (for me) ride in today by riding about 33 km to the coast for a hamburger and a shake 0
