I was worried about that, but it turns out I know the area well, and there are only about eight turns. Once we get north of Santa Cruz, we just ride the fifty miles or so up to Montara on Highway 1, then turn around and ride back. It'll be very very dark on Highway 1 though, with no moon. 124 miles in eight hours? I don't think so. I'll be in the dark. -- -- Anne Paulson My hovercraft is full of eels -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
