Fern Kissel & JK. Same as https://connect.garmin.com/activity/816996126 on 06-27-15. Park/start/finish at Webster Ele. School, 3602 Winter Canyon Road, Malibu, CA 90265 (see http://goo.gl/maps/JJpLd). For detailed route, see http://ridewithgps.com/routes/8537036. NOTE: We added app. 5.5 miles of "extra credit" for a total of 200+ miles (the official route was app. 196): 1) a loop of +1 mile beginning at mile 32; 2) a loop of +2 miles to the Port Hueneme lighthouse at mile 35.2; & 3) a loop of +2.5 miles after Checkpoint #3 at mile 80.3. We also took two wrong turns: 1) in Santa Paula at mile 103.5 where we turned right instead of left & added ½ mile; 2) in Ojai at mile 120.9 where we missed Aliso St. (no visible street sign) & added ¼ mile. Awoke at 2:00 a.m., drove 3:30-4:00 a.m. to the start; checked in, & started riding at 4:30 a.m. We stopped at all 6 checkpoints (never saw a “secret” checkpoint), took our time & enjoyed the day as much as possible, including 4+ hours of pause/stop time. Morning weather was ideal; gray, cool & with no significant wind through the Potrero Rd. climbs (steepest climbs of the day at miles 50-51; 2-3 top pitches at 15%+!). Afternoon weather was tough, with temps in mid-90s & strong headwinds across app. miles 93-123 from Bardsdale to Ojai. Early evening weather was great, but midevening south of NAS Pt. Mugu & down Pacific Coast Hwy., we had intermittent heavy fog/mist in darkness (no moon), then very strong headwind … very tough going for a few miles, then the headwind subsided as we hit the rolling hills on the home stretch. We finished the ride at 2:00 a.m., checked in, dropped off Fern, stopped at Jack-in-the-Box, back to the hotel, shower, & into bed by 6:00 a.m. … a 28-hour very llllooooonnnnggg day, but all's well that ends well!
