I was thinking about re-riding one lap of the Magic Mountain Man route tomorrow.
Anyone riding it in the morning?
Hey Dick,
I will be swimming and doing a ~2 hr ride tomorrow in OC. Since you will be one of my main competitors I hope you go out there and wear yourself out. I sam till trying to figure out my set-up for the bike. I am leaning toward my road bike, but might put on some old clip-on aero bars and throw on my race wheels. Have a great ride and be careful.

I’m just doing a 2 hour ride. I was thinking about familiarizing myself with the ugly descent out near the north end of the thing.
I’m going all out. You should, too. ;^)
I’d say the bike choice is a toss up. It’s gonna be a slow bike leg.
Hey Dick, have fun and be careful on that downhill. Now that Gary is racing the best I can hope for is third:)
PS: See you next week.
BTW: there was a brush fire there today.
I swim at NOVAs. On Saturday we have a 7:30 AM to 9 AM workout at Northwood HS on Portola. I will do a loop on Silverado Canyon afterwards.

Silverado Canyon will be good training for the race. I’m going to ride Newport Coast area 2.5 hrs. If it was closer I would ride with Dick. You guys should have a good race, I think Dick won 55-59 at Big Kahuna 07 and you won 08.
I’m looking forward to the race, it should be a fun day. See you next week.
Bob,
I live out by Peters Canyon so Santiago Canyon is in my backyard practically. Have a good ride tomorrow. I should be an interesting day out there next Saturday. I think it will be a challenge to determine how hard to go on the bike and still have something in the tank for the run. Did you notice that Big Kahuna is really late this year–October 25th? I wonder if this is a permanent change? I am tempted to go back (I have family up there in Santa Cruz), but I think I am done for the year after M3.
