Fantastic ride today! Thanks to all the brave riders who suffered through the perfect weather and stunningly beautiful views! Special thanks to Eddie for showing us around his new stomping grounds, including a very cool local bike shop with some amazing vintage bikes on display. Unfortunately, the owner had his Confente at home but maybe it’ll be in the display rotation the next time we’re down.

Looks like I missed a good day!
Too much going on here and we have next week’s ride to the Cycling HOF in Davis. Miss seeing Eddie!

The owner also had an early Tom Ritchey hanging on the wall. That Wizard was concours-level gorgeous.

Leather shoe-protectors on the Frejus' toe-clips. Nice touch.

Thanks to Eddy for organizing this and to those that came and rode. I had an extremely pleasant time! Weather was just about perfect as we're bikes and roads.

Seeing all the bikes lined up like this makes me think of the children's ditty: "One of these things is not like the others/one of these things just doesn't belong . . . . "
Which one is it? Hint: check the heights of the saddles and bars.

Great pics! Sorry I missed it. I just did the Hand Car tour today. It's pricey but it was pretty fun.

Appears a grand day out.
that Masi jersey is different than what Masi California sent with the first bike a new dealer received.
that was yellow- blue to the sides and looping over the shoulders, blue Chainstitch Masi California.
This one looks fun though.
