Six and a half weeks ago I had a total knee replacement. I was given exercises that created a bit of stress. Never giving up on these exercises and enjoying the stress was the norm. I started riding a stationary bike in therapy a few weeks back. It was a short peddle but sometimes equal to climbing a medium hill. Last Tuesday l took my hybrid out for a short jaunt. It was great. A short ride in the early evening before dusk. I repeated it a couple days later. Today was my third ride going further on flat ground through the neighborhood. Another great ride. I am holding off on major miles as I am still healing. Following the advise of my therapists and their exercise regimen has enabled me to advance seamlessly. I was told a few times not to exercise as hard. All I could think of was riding up the never ending hill and the power took over while exercising. I guess it is part of my soul. Through this I learned that ocassionally you have to give in and take advice. A couple pains that wen...

Hello FCC - Slight modification to the RwGPS route for tomorrow's Camarillo to Ventura ride.  The route will now use Santa Clara Street instead of Main Street (closed to through traffic) through Downtown Ventura, adds an optional coffee stop (Surfer's Point Cafe, Mile 22.7) and adds a bit more Ventura coastal bike path.  Also changes the meal stop from Beach House Tacos at the Ventura Pier to the Waterside Restaurant in Channel Islands Harbor (Oxnard) at Mile 34.5.  BTW, sit down lunch is on me.  We ate at this restaurant last year and it has a nice outdoor patio overlooking the harbor. https://ridewithgps.com/routes/52439465?privacy_code=V6Pm5Gf5APlNDsVvTEZHMqJrbMVwDdcQ I expect to arrive at the meetup point (CVS Pharmacy parking lot at 351 Carmen Drive, Camarillo) by 7:30am.  Rollout promptly at 8:00am.   Sent by Richard Jue (Richie Rich) ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Richie Rich < juejueb03@gmail.com > Date: Fri, Aug 29, 2025 at 8:41 AM Subject: FCC Cam...

Hello FCC - Additional Info for tomorrow's ride.  Roll-out will be promptly at 8am from the CVS Camarillo parking lot (see attached photo). This will be a mellow farmland/coastal cruise. Only one short climb out of the Ventura Civic Center to Loma Vista Road.  It's a one hour drive from Pasadena to Camarillo so best to leave by 6:30am. Come join the fun.  https://youtu.be/0ZefgKV78bw?si=Lup9iIopbdWvoeLC Short video from last year's ride.  Sent by Richard Jue -- ----------------------------------------------------   http://www.foothillcycle.org/ --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Foothill Cycling Club" group.

All, I'm off. This European trip will test me. For the next 2 week the weather looks pretty good. Highs in the low 70's and some days with showers.  Any day that we have to climb 3,000 ft, it will be challenging. For this trip, 7 of the 15 riding days are close to or over 3,000 feet and one day over 5,000 feet. We'll see how it goes. https://2025p2m.blogspot.com/ All the best, Brian -- ----------------------------------------------------   http://www.foothillcycle.org/ --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Foothill Cycling Club" group.
