Took my new-to-me Alex Singer out for a 400K brevet (248 miles to us U.S. folks) from the Golden Gate Bridge north to Hopland and back. A gorgeous day for a ride! With apologies to those still freezing their wingnuts off back east, we had temperatures into the upper 70s.
I took mostly videos on the ride (movie coming soon), but here are a few photos: https://www.flickr.com/photos/campyonlyguy/sets/72157651236622879/ <https://www.flickr.com/photos/campyonlyguy/sets/72157651236622879/> Brevet season is in full swing; my next “big” ride is the final, 600K brevet in early May. --Eric Norris campyonly...@me.com www.campyonly.com campyonlyguy.blogspot.com > On Mar 29, 2015, at 8:07 PM, JohnS <sharp...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Trying to instigate a discussion on everyone's weekend ride.
