Great ride with Chuck Bramwell, Pete, and a fair number of others. I was expected Rob Kelly, too, and was disappointed that he didn't make it. The temperatures were nice to start, and it didn't get too hot. I skipped the optional water stop just before Like Oak Canyon, and figured the others would catch me on one of the climbs of the rollers on either Like Oak or Santiago Cyn, but I never saw anyone again. Evidently Pete rode on and must have come very close to catching me because he made a stop to eat along the way, and made another stop, too. I had a total of 4:28 stopped time for water and a comfort stop. The rest was all from red lights; that's basically 25 minutes of stopped time for red lights. There are a lot of them on this route, but we have to take the bitter with the sweet, and the route is definitely SWEET!
