20110504-05 "Mos Eisley 100"
Posted: Thu May 05, 2011 2:51 pm
So called because yesterday was STAR WARS DAY, and if you remember what Ben Kenobi said about Mos Eisley, well, you'll see how it fits.
Started at my house in West Covina at 4pm. Rode up to Azusa to the very northern end/turnaround point of the San Gabe River Trail (SGRT).
Then boogied south.
Whittier Narrows Dam
"Wilderness Park" in the Downey area or so. This fountain saved my day.
BAM! Seal Beach at 8pm. 3.5 hours to get there from my house (30min break for lunch/water fillup).
Crappy pic of the beach
Sweaty guy
Then I flipped a bitch and headed north to Dustin and Bert's pad in the area. Got some food and they equipped me with new pedals and a bottle cage/bottle.
Left there at 11:23 and got to the top of the trail at 2am. Endo'd at midnight on a poorly marked section of the trail. Went into the dirt and the concrete went straight up for about 6 inches so I did an endo/bail and saved the bike as much as possible. Bike is fine, as am I. Lame trail paint.
Back at the northern end in the SG's. Bad stomach cramps at this point.
Back to my house around 3 going very slow so I didn't throw up, since my gut was hurting. Bad gas pains or something.
