Having seen the videos and heard the stories of rides on the SART, I finally invited myself along on one of Fred's weekend rides down there. It was pretty much what I figured it was going to be like , except the flatness. Man was it ever flat. We put in 42 miles and only had 500 feet of gain the entire time. One thing I really enjoyed was the riding in a paceline for the first time ever. Learned a lot from that, mainly that you have to pay attention to what is going on around you at all times. We rode inland a little over 8 miles before turning around and heading to the beach(Huntington). Got there and hung out for a while, then headed back to the cars which were parked by Angel Stadium. All in all, a great time. Seeing how I felt that I really hadn't pushed myself, when I got home, I rested for a couple hours then went up GMR to the shack. Seeing how the SDSR was still going on, the road was pretty empty for a Sunday afternoon. High clouds kept the temp up, making for a good ride both up and down. Great day on the bike.
