[Chuck Bramwell]

Thank you to everyone who came out for the Carbon Canyon Century Saturday.  It was a beautiful morning but did get toasty in the afternoon.

My photos and videos are at https://photos.app.goo.gl/5P6DEmnDk9bcvRDq9

Here are the results:

Bob Aguilar - 43 Miles and 2,526 Feet of Climbing at https://www.strava.com/activities/17557218546

Bob Bacin - 82 Miles and 3,642 Feet of Climbing with Gloria

Chuck Bramwell - 103 Miles and 4,865 Feet of Climbing at https://www.strava.com/activities/17559083003 - 101 Degrees near Jamboree was basically a Thermonuclear Meltdown and left me with leg cramps even after drinking a lot earlier in the ride.  A huge thanks to Larry Locken for hanging back and sharing miles with me.  

Bruce Campbell - 109 Miles and 5,330 Feet of Climbing at https://www.strava.com/activities/17558724322 - Bruce wrote: "Big shout out to Vicki Chernoff for sharing all the pulls! Also she is my witness that I turned left to go up Live Oak Canyon ....accidentally deleted the ride so making a manual entry.  Thanks Chuck Bramwell for posting and organizing! It was 97F in Santiago Canyon today."

Vicki Chernoff - 101 Miles and 4,794 Feet of Climbing - Vicki wrote: "101 miles and 4800 ft elevation for Vicki. Tough introductory ride back into a century! Thank you for organizing, Chuck - your effort is appreciated. Thanks for the pulls, mostly from Bruce. Those last 18 miles riding alone, while flat, were challenged by traffic lights - next time, the bike trail? A day well spent!" 

Matthew Dexter - 109 Miles and 5,361 Feet of Climbing at https://www.strava.com/activities/17558851138

Hoan Do - 112 Miles and 5,778 Feet of Climbing at https://www.strava.com/activities/17559259191 - Hoan wrote: "Rode with Chuck Bramwell and the rest of the OCW group. Help Ralph, a high school sophomore, complete his first century. He just needs to learn not to take a 30 break at every rest stop. 😁"  Hoan, thank you for helping Ralph.

Kris Jones - 109 Miles and 5,512 Feet of Climbing at https://www.strava.com/activities/17559075990

Beyond the call of duty." and "We did the short version of this century which was plenty for me. This ride was surprisingly tough for me. Very sore quads and rather warm weather didn't help. Thanks to Bob Bacin for waiting for me. My longest ride in a long time. Great views of snow capped mountains."

Nils Sandburg - Derek and Nils joined us at mile 12 on Bond - I believe Nils completed 61 miles like Derek
