10/22/2022 Double Century SMASH Session Ride Report - compliments of jose marin

I left home early to catch the group near the start. I prefer to front load in enough miles to set up the ride so that once I get to the turn around point, simply riding back home gets me to the mileage goal, i.e., the bare minimum is all that’s required at that point.

At about 4:10 am, the bois rolled through and upon jumping on the back of the train of 14 riders, 29 mph ensued effectively immediately. I knew at this point, these homies f*ck. Going pull for pull was questionable but I was in good spirits!

We held strong pace all the way through to each stop point taking place every 50 miles.

By the time I was at about 150 miles, these guys were still smashing 400 watts up the climbs AND the flats to go as fast as possible. Where this energy and endurance comes from, no one will ever know.

At this point, me and a few other riders agreed to maintain a more steady pace just to make it all the way home. This was still pushing 280 watts up climbs and maintaining around 24 mph through PCH.

I pulled off with Tony through the back bay and steady rolled home, having been dropped deeply by the main group, having hardly any legs left to do anything.

Very grateful to have experienced the likes of the 1%ers, avoid the forecasted rain, meet all these awesome new people, and hopefully add a little bit of value to the group overall. But, most importantly, now, sit at home, showered and clean, food prepared before me to chow down as I finish sharing my 2 cents about today’s journey…don’t forget, compliments of jose marin 

Thank you so much everyone, that was for sure record-breaking and absolutely a blast!
