We are Keith & Mireya from Carmel. When we're not on our tandem (Burley Rivazza half converted to Campy) Keith rides an old Litespeed Liege and Mireya rides an even older Look. Most of the time we ride by ourselves, but we do show up for races and double centuries from time to time. We've tandemed the Solvang, Davis, Bass Lake, and Mt. Tam doubles and one or the other or both of us have done the Terrible Two, Hemet, Solvang, Death Valley, Eastern Sierra, Knoxville and Mt. Tam doubles on singles. Of these, we recommend the Terrible Two (hard, yes, but what a fantastic route!); Bass Lake (Mireya picks this one due to lots of climbing, but no scary, technical descents); Solvang (easy & fun with a good route and a great atmosphere - the perfect introduction to double centuries); Mt. Tam (challenging & beautiful); Eastern Sierra (beautiful and not so challenging); and Knoxville (covers a lot of the same territory as Davis, but a far superior route).
We often ride north into the Santa Cruz Mountains and probably see many of you on the roads up there.
