With Bluebird skies (like today) this ride would be a 10 out of 10.
The first picture is the rider briefing.
The second picture is the final resting place of my bicycle with the dual freewheel: spins forward AND backward freely!
Tim - looks like a great group of Randos! Sorry about your FW.
OK - I got my September ride in yesterday. 95 miles in 95 to 101 degrees. Rode the blue 81 Sequoia again. This one went up into the San Gabriel mountains to Devi's Punchbowl, then back across the valley for a loop out through the Leona Valley. Pretty much the whole day was spent on the San Andreas Fault Line.
Here's the top of the climb at Devil's Punchbowl. All I could think of at this point was that Jan would probably ride through the punchbowl and out the other side and down the south fork trail....
Anyway, fun ride and a beautiful day. Wish you were here! (says so on the postcard)
