Chuck Bramwell
Dori Lewis was flying up Chino Hills Parkway with lots of Blue Sky
“I want people to think of me as a talented overachiever
That I was blessed with talent
But that I worked as if I had none”
Kobe Bryant after playing his last game on April 13, 2016
He scored 60 points in that last game
It was such horrible news to hear of Kobe’s passing yesterday. He was such a great example of how hard work in training paid off big time when it made all the difference.
Saturday’s Century started out in the soup. Thick, grey, soup. We all figured it would be clear right down the road in Tustin … or in Orange … but it wasn’t until mile 14 on Lakeview that it really did clear. Then we had a great Blue Sky day for some great climbing.

Gary Ehrlich and I somehow survived the traffic on Live Oak from Cooks Corner - this is a dicey spot as we all know. Gary did pull me in from Los Alisos and Muirlands as I stated to wear down trying to keep up with him. Hard to believe it was back to back centuries for Gary Friday and Saturday but actually it was only 20+ miles more than his usual Fri/Sat total of 180.” WOW!!

Enjoyed riding with the group as well, opted for the bail out and had 80 miles back to the start. Thanks for bringing us together.”

Thanks to everyone for coming out and riding strong. I’ve got a LONG way to go to get my fitness back. This was a good day of cycling.
