11-23-2008 Santiago Loop Ride

Space Dragons! Join us for a challenging ride for this Sunday following paddle practice. This weekend should be better, hopefully we will not have heavy smoke or wicked hangovers!

The Santiago Loop is a beautiful ride that starts in Irvine and winds through the foothills of Orange County. The first half of the ride is a gradual but steady hill climb, resulting in a very rewarding downhill ride! I've reached speeds of 40 MPH on the downhill!

Make sure to eat a little snack after paddle practice. Expect the ride is about 32 miles long and will take about 2.5 to 3 hours to complete, so bring along a few snack items, we will take a few breaks along the way. Bring 2 - 3 liters of water along with some energy gels and electrolytes, maybe a couple pieces of fruit, bananas are recommended. A helmet will be required to join the ride.

Pack your swim suit! Following the ride you are invited to join us at the pool and spa for a relaxing and rejuvenating dip, while we enjoy some pizza and salad to rebuild our freshly exhausted muscles!

Please RSVP to jashaf@gmail.com or call me at 949-280-7253 so that I can order enough pizza and salad for everyone that is coming. Please note any pizza preferences or other food preferences in your email.
