Thanks Jay!

I cannot figure out how to open the .tcx file. Is there another file type you could post?

[JayC]

You can import it directly into Training Center

Nice route today, and the weather was really fantastic. I liked the combination of a couple of hills and nice long straights. I also like it when we finish on Jordan Narron but don't start on it.

Time: 2:25
Distance: 51.1
Speed: 21.1

We beat the SAG to McDonalds, so most of us bought water or gatorade at the convenience store - worked out just fine.

Great ride today. Team Santana (tandem) trailed the A group from time-to-time but usually caught up on the downhill. We took a shortcut in order to get back home to plan and execute a kid's birthday party so shorted by 2-3 miles:

Dist: 48.31 miles
Time: 2:19
AVS: 20.7 mph

You left out how you took revenge on the local dog population...

Oh, right... The Santana had a little "run in" with a pesky little dog that prolly will leave cyclists alone for awhile.

The A (especially me) group nearly went down due to a light, almost white dog who was hiding behind some bushes going up toward an old church on the right (sorry, but the name of the road escapes me).
Great ride! Been in the mountains a bunch this summer and I do miss the Saturday rides with the SC

[Pugslyyy]

I think it was near Moores School House - just before Glendale Road crosses 222

We also got ambushed on Browns Pond Rd, just before the right turn onto Shoeheel. Those dogs have run out at me before, a couple of weeks ago.

7/19 route is a repeat of this route so I editted the thread title.

Going to skip the CP ride this week and stick a bit closer to home.

Team CBC is doing a slightly shorter ride which suits me just fine - will be doing the NCBC summer metric on Sunday and don't want to go all out on Saturday.

Have fun!
