24 Hour Scott and BR Radio ride
Earlier this month fellow radio contestant Keith Jensen made an on air commitment to Scott and BR. He proposed to ride his bike for 24 hours in hopes to get people in the radio world involved and help CAF raise funds. He was taking pledges to this trip so that it was well worth it. The weekend before the big day Keith and Joe rode up the coast to map out a route that would be safest and also well lit in a event that something was to go south. Keith mentioned he met some great riders and were able to get sponsorship along the way. While I wasn't able to take extra time off work to help pull Keith and Joe on the epic ride. I was able to help out by riding with them when I got off work. When they were on their way back from Orange county and battling a nasty head wind. They made quick pit stop in Oceanside, so I was able to meet up with them and ride down the coast till we took a nature break at Swami's. Where Esther was relived of her SAG duties and was joined by Danielle to take over. As the three of us rode down to La Jolla, we were joined by fellow radio contestants Jesse M and Dave M. We made a quick stop for a quick bite for Keith and Joe since they have been riding hell of a lot more than we have. After just minutes we made it to Fiesta Island.
This is where we spent at least 2 hours riding around safely and without traffic or head winds to worry about. The only set back is after seeing the same rock and same tree after several laps can get to you. Dave, Jesse and myself offered our fresh legs to pull while Keith and Joe continued to ride. But my ride had to be cut short, I had work the following day and had to be up in 5 hours for daddy duties as well. Brian met up with rest of the group to ride the rest of the night. They rode well into the early morning until they rode as a group to La Jolla cove where Scott was swimming for the radio station event called Great Friend and Great Whites. Thanks for giving your minds, bodies and rears for CAF and the Scott and BR cycling group. Way to take one for the team.
