I think RBI's job is to try to piss people off, most folks just ignore his comments. Get things rolling in Ventura, by all means!

i was going to ride up to grant park, but i saw some sketchy homeless looking lady with two fake legs crouching in some shade at the top of palm shooting something gnarly into her veins and just went down the avenue instead. it seems like youre looking for braindead idiots like that to ride with, so have fun.
my job is actually a bike mechanic.

Sink Ride was awesome, let's do it again. I've done the dirt side of Sulphur but don't want to try it unless I have fat knobbies on my bike.

It's a ride we did back in 2008,
http://midnightridazz.com/forums.php?topicId=1912
We started out in Ventura and headed up to Ojai by way of Lake Casitas and then past Ojai over the Dennison Grade into "the sink". Then we climbed up Sulfur Mountain and back. I think we did around 2,500 of elevation gain and rode maybe 60 miles.
@RBI BTW -- I've done the Ventura, Lake Casitas, Ojai, Dennison Grade, Santa Paula, Ventura loop a couple of times now. I've also done Sulfur on the dirt side a few times -- too many cow patties and horse flies on the climb. Yeah, I could probably do it on thin 700 tires but it's more fun to bomb downhill with knobbies and shocks.
Let's get some 805 ridazz going. When the weather cools off, let's do Sink ride again!

i was thinking maybe this route md pass it around
http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=4647947
its a loop of sorts but its a good amout of miles 16 maybe not alot for you upper class pros but its something for the newbies to get their feet wet in riding

the distance is good for an intro ride but there are way too few streets. Also, I not sure if Thompson and the Ave. are great choices to take a group of potentially partially new riders.
There are some awesomely paves neighborhoods around CMH and south of Main that would be a hoot to breeze through.
Also, have you planned a break stop? Pierpont would be cool and there are plenty of convenience stores as you head into the area for people to grab their gateraid or whatevers.
Too much time on the bike path potentially too. Maybe just go up it a little ways then take olive back towards the coast. Santa Clara and Poli are nice streets to ride. The posted route has about 10 feet of elevation. Don't be afraid of a little incline.

Good to see all of you Friday night.
Come on up to Santa Barbara for the annual cruise ride on Sunday.
Leave from the Dolphin Fountain at the foot of State Street at noon sharp. Cruise up State Street then up the bike path to UCSB and to Ellwood. Expect a couple of thousand riders.

Thanks for the link. It sounds like something I want to do, but it's on my kid's birthday and we got something planned. I have been able to get him and Maria both on the tandem with me at the same time. I got one of those front facing baby seats on the handlebars. Works well.
See ya later, cranky!
