Lighthouse Century 2007


OK, so I only attempted the metric century. After my disastrous Wildflower attempt, I thought biting off a little bit smaller bite might be appropriate. Yeah, I did it! This was really a great ride, 65 miles on the Central California coast from Cuesta College near San Luis Obispo north to Cambria and back. Course was basically flat, just some nice rolling hills. As I was coming through Cambria there was a really nice downhill which was headed for the lunch stop. As I was hammering along at about 35 mph I suddenly realized, oh crap, I have to come back up this after lunch! It actually wasn't so bad though. Got back to Cuesta College feeling really good, although my quads were starting to hurt a little coming through Morro Bay. Finished off with a great bbq chicken dinner and started thinking, I could have probably done the 100! Maybe next year
