Looks like a wonderful ride, Esteban! Thanks for the photos and the writeup.
I ended up having a doozy of a couple days beforehand, sleep & bike repair wise, and ended up not being able to make it. My new rule is to not do any bike repair the night before an event. :) Luckily I was able to still take the RB-1 for a nice 50 mile Marin jaunt in the afternoon. Who is in for the SFR Winters 200k in October? It looks like an interesting route. I haven't done any riding out there before. -nathan On Tue, Jul 20, 2010 at 1:04 PM, Esteban <[email protected]> wrote: > You should have seen my eyes roll every time I asked for a receipt :) > > This was such a great event for SFR and riders in the Bay Area - so > many different styles and new riders. > > On Jul 20, 12:22 pm, William <[email protected]> wrote: >> Excellent write up, Esteban.
