Attendees: Vince, Todd, Jaffe, Mitchell and Vin
You know, I think I'll keep the ride highlights short here and say there was definitely a lot of good training done out there and people continue to step it up every outing. Vince is on his A game again (he denies it) and is a threat in just about all aspects of the ride, and Vin is definitely becoming a force out there as well. Todd continues to be the GTJ, and Mitch and Jaffe also make for good training buddies.
What I would like to talk about is my good ol' friend, Adrian. He's leaving and won't be a regular participant in our lunch rides any longer, so he will definitely be missed.
Cycling things to now about Adrian:

What I would like to talk about is my good ol' friend, Adrian. He's leaving and won't be a regular participant in our lunch rides any longer, so he will definitely be missed.
Cycling things to now about Adrian:
- Has fallen on his road bike from a dead stop 3-4 times...twice at a corner during morning rush hour.
- Bought his first road bike where it was a bit too big for him. Not sure what he was trying to compensate for.
- He's done the following rides with team BRCM: Stagecoach x 3, Palm Springs Century x 1, and OC Grand Fondo x 1-2
- Strength is definitely sprinting. Hills...not so much.
- After he leaves, we'll need to find another person to call Detonator.
- He introduced me to Margarita Shot Bloks. Indirectly, he's saved my life as a result.
- The kind of guy who you share cycling tips with and then turns around and uses them against you. HA HA
- He is someone you do NOT want to drive home after a century ride. Let's just say I could have probably sold my wife's old Expedition for more had he not permanently damaged its interior with his flatulence.
- Expect to stop often if he accompanies you to a century. His bladder is the size of a 9 year old's.
- He once forgot to call his wife after a century ride. Here's his next day picture:
I'll need to save more material for 3/22, so I'll cut this short for now. Adrian, keep riding, buddy, and come out if/when you can (get permission from Karye that is). You're definitely a BAMMER for life, so continue to represent. Love you, mang!
