We rode 350 miles through mostly hilly terrain which ncluded a few 3 to 4 mile climbs. Two days included rain. My load, which was about average for this tour, came in at about 50 pounds added to the bike.

It was a blast. I will go again.

Well, from the title, I immediately thought about a trip some of my friends took recently. But apparently you know far more about the trip than I do.

I enjoyed the travelogue at the BACA meeting

Did you have a frog on your helmet or get a spider bite?
