This was my 4th year riding the (Stagecoach Century), and as always, I was not disappointed. I rode the 50 (I was so relieved not to be riding a full century!). The weather was perfect (low 80s), and I felt awesome. This was a relief; I've been focusing more on running lately, not biking. It was a gorgeous day in the desert; I didn't need any more motivation than that! Plus, I got some awesome pics. This year's ride re-cap is a photo gallery (in sequence) of the ride.
Mountains surrounded us in the desert valley of Anza-Borrego.
Gorgeous view of the desert. Rocky!
Breathtaking.
Wow.
Cacti pepper the hillsides like tiny skeletons.
Clumps of cacti like statues posing for a painting.
We flew back towards home at 25 mph (the group of riders we sucked wheel from for 5 miles didn't hurt).
View from the top after climbing Sweeny's Pass. I can see the road spiraling below, where we just came from.

Stunning ride- you are definitely the blogger whose rides I most want to come do!
Beautiful scenery-I could handle a day of low 80's right now in the dead of winter!
That looks like a great ride!
Wow... looks like a great ride! :)
That's BEAUTIFUL! I would love my first long ride to be somewhere like that. Stunning!
That seriously makes me want to get out and ride. I wish our roads weren't solid ice!
Gorgeous Pics!
This is beautiful - you are one lucky girl!
Can I say the jealous meter is about to break with the weather you had for that event, in JANUARY!!! I want that just to happen on any given day where i live during the winter. I hope you had a great time, the pictures look great! Thanks for sharing :)
