This weekend was the daughter's 14th birthday, so we took a trip down Monterey way and spent the weekend at Carmel. In a stroke of serendipity fellow BF member Markopolo happened to be visiting his in-laws there, so we joined up for a leisurely ride on Sunday morning. Nothing too taxing - about 31 miles and 2800 or so feet of climbing is all, with a couple of coffee stops and plenty of sight-seeing along the way.

It really was perfect weather to be out and about on a bike, and I'm glad I had time to hook up and go.
