I just booked my hotel, so it finally feels real. Fortunately, the weather here in the SF Bay Area doesn't ever get that cold, and I don't mind riding in a bit of rain. This will be my second Eroica CA, and first time back since 2016. My regular commuter is my Eroica bike. I usually climb a 4-mile hill to work with bags stuffed full of books, papers, and computer. Shedding the rack/panniers and swapping the wheels for a tubular set is such a magical feeling--worth at least a few weeks of training!
