I thought there used to be a website associated with it but I think it’s now only a book. Do a search for “Crap Cycle Lanes” for some (I repeat some) of the stupid/embarrassing/humorous British cycle infrastructure, just click on the images tab.

There’s a “hold my beer” meme in here somewhere, I just can’t find a good one.

Looks like a road that Google Maps would route me to while trying to get to the cyclocross race.

That watch for bikes sign was in Dana Point, right near me.
More SoCal silliness, while driving the freeways this past weekend a number of the electric signs had a message of something like watch for bicyclists or move over for bicyclists. On the freeway, where bikes are not allowed.
Decent message, wrong venue
Not strictly true. You can (or have to if you don’t have a Pendleton pass) ride the shoulder of the 5 from Las Pulgas Rd to Oceanside

I agree that the message was out of place on the freeway. I saw the signage last Saturday on the 15 and 215. This picture is stolen from Reddit:
Riding I-5 past Pendleton is different since you’re on the shoulder and not ‘taking the lane’. And on streets where you should take the lane I prefer signage that says ‘Bikes May Use Full Lane’ over ‘Share The Road’ but that’s another topic…

I’ve already ridden more miles in 2022 than I’ve ever ridden in any previous entire year.
All the events are spread out several weeks apart, but I still may end up:

Are the century races or just “for fun” events?

Just for fun, so the only one I’m competing against is myself. Over 6’3" and 200+ pounds, I’m not foolish to think I’m gonna win any races…

If it’s for fun, no big issue… Just make sure you eat a ton and you will be fine… I haven’t make a century in 8 years and i am sure i can do one now with proper nutrition and if i slow down enough

I’m aware of Pendleton and other areas bikes are allowed. The sections I was traveling was 405 thru Irvine, Costa Mesa, HB = definite no bike zone
Turns out that people who spend all their time on forums want to be on their own
from “gears with chad” thread…

I think that’s more to do with most people doing gravel events for the spirit of the event/community/fun and the individual challenge of finishing rather than trying to “win”

According to my Meyers-Briggs profile I’m 100% introverted. Emergenetics rated me in the 5th percentile for “social,” but that’s only because they don’t assign anyone to the 0th percentile. 
So, yeah, a solo gravel ride sounds great!!!

Yep. “Commiseration while exhausted on the last half of an intense bike race” is one of my ideal forms of social interaction. Right up there with “Off-hours dog park trips” while living in cities.
