Remarks: Even though I'm no longer training for some 100 mile ride, and I was supposed to cut down the weekly mileage and elevation, you can see how throwing in a post-century "taper" ride of 70 miles up a couple of mountains might throw those goals for a loop. Interestingly, my legs are more tired and sore from this Sunday's ride than the 100 mile-5250 elevation ride the week before, even though we did 30 miles and 500 feet less. I attribute this to the number of food stops and menu selection: I ate way more last week (hey, my registration fee paid for some of that!), and I ate a half a banana at each stop as well. Definitely feeling the lack of potassium after coming down from Mt. Baldy and GMR. Bonus of the day - forcing a Yaris to use a turnout on the descent because it was going too slow handling the curvy roads!

Notes: Saturday was the Solvang Century, which was 100 miles around the Santa Ynez Valley, starting and ending in Solvang. The weather was great; sunny, clear, crisp air; perfect cycling conditions, except for one thing: constant 10 to 20 mile an hour wind. Our group joked at the 3rd SAG stop, that no matter which way we turned on the road, we never got a tailwind, so it was as if an angry, little wind god was following us around. We had images of a grey cloud with its cheeks puffed up as it blew, like the storm god in a Piers Anthony Xanth novel. Luckily, on the big 18 mile climb of the day, we finally got that tailwind. So, if the last time I did the Solvang Century was "Snowvang," this year was definitely "Windvang." But it was a great day, our group was very prepared physically, and if not for my flat tire with three miles to go, we all would have finished within 10 minutes of each other. A very successful outing, with no injuries, all finishers, and fun stories to tell around the dinner table after the ride.
