Paskenta Century/Race is ON!
From what I've been reading amongst other Chico rider's blogs this Sunday should be fun. Weather is looking good and there is talk of riders coming to town for this one. Last year I had been out on a couple of weekend rides with ChicoVelo prior to Paskenta and there was a bunch of smack talking and race strategy talk going on in the group. If I recall correctly, (I wasn't there to see it) but Tim took the win.
I haven't been riding with them at all this year (I really need to get out there) as 9 AM is just early this time of year, especially when it's sub 40 degrees out. But, I imagine the smack talk has been happening.
Either way, I've got nothing to add because I'd never be there at the end anyway. Hell, if I'm still with the group when we hit the gravel, I'll be happy.

Yeah, it's gonna be a fun one! Tim won it last year, followed by the Thurmanator. And John Elgart, at age 59, was either 3rd or 4th followed by Michelle Beltran. Elgart is my idol, I swear. 60 years old and he's going to top 10 it.
Funny, I only know a few peoples first names, other than that, I know them only by what they ride.
Not surprising Michelle was up there, thank goodness a few guys came in before she did.
Last year, I got there a minute after 8 and the group had already left. A group of 4 or 5 of us attempted to catch up with no luck. I had a great time, though, met some new people, and even stopped in Paskenta for lunch.
I'm looking forward to this years ride.
