Your Trooper is beautiful.
Before my 50 mile bike ride...
I went to Rosarito in Baja yesterday for a 50 mile Bike event. Was loads of fun. But, the night before, i gave the Trooper a good scrubbin'.

you should bring your troop and your bike to the amgen tour in solvang 
Thanks for the comments guys
Thanks!
We did a cruddy 5 hours, 25 minutes. We would have done much less, about 4 hours, but i had to wait for my brother in law. It was three of us, a friend, bro-in-law and me. Our friend and I did the first 25 miles in one hour, but with no hills. At that pace, we would have done 3 hours total.cronk said:

^^ Thanks buddy!
Yes, the ride organizers are awesome. They have everything covered. 5 checkpoints with water and poweraid. Medical staff. And several places to stop for some grub. Oh, and the bystanders! They rock too, and the kids all want you to throw candy at them.
I do live in Baja, Tecate to be exact. Right under Campo, Ca. I manage a campground here. (we used to be a KOA)
The wheels are Teny wheels, made in Taiwan. Good wheels, but a bit heavy for rides like these. And the crafstmanship is "ok" could be way better. I love them though, i don't mind the weight. I did get them from e-Bay. There's a couple of on-line places to get them, but were way cheaper there. Shipping was mega fast. About 4 days.
Hey John. Thanks for the great comments. I did pretty good on the ride. We did 5.25 hrs. But could have done it in 4 at a good speed. My brother in law doesn't have much of a long distance riding condition, he stopped several times to rest. I did the first 25 miles in an hour, which ment i left him behind. I waited for him after the big hill (La Mission). IT WAS TOUGH! I walked it for about 5 minutes, my leg was cramping up :lol:govno90 said:

metal88 is right. that amgentour is a nice ride. it goes through the rolling hills just above santa barbara. if you read or hear of any rides that go through the solvang, santa barbara area, DO IT.
cheers, john
