[RBW] Re: Heads up for a very rare sighting opportunity. KIT, at the SFR 200k tomorrow!

2015-01-25 Thread Bill Lindsay
I was there in Bicycle Heaven kit with my buddy Ara.  We had a great day 
out on the bike.  Unfortunately a fellow SFR rider took a turn way too fast 
in front of us, lost control and went over the bars hard.  He messed up his 
left shoulder pretty badly, destroyed his helmet, and yet was alert enough 
to say "dammit, why did I take that turn so fast?  Stupid!"  We waited 
around for the ambulance, got word to the club volunteers and otherwise did 
our duty.  The volunteer working the phone indicated that if helping out 
our fellow rider pushed us outside the time limit, they would make sure I 
got credit anyhow.  I didn't need that extra latitude and got in about an 
hour under the limit.  Including riding to and from the start/finish from 
Ara's rental house, we'd logged 136 miles.  I saw several Rivs, and I did 
see Esteban proudly sporting his San Diego colors.  Is was a spectacular 
day weather-wise.  Sunny and maybe 70 degrees at times with very little 
wind.  

I felt the beginnings of a cramp in my calf at about mile 50, but I was 
able to keep it in check and had no actual cramping issues, which was 
good.  

In my handlebar bag I carried a half-dozen breakfast sausages and a few 
slices of sharp cheddar.  I had a slice of vegetarian quiche at the Bovine 
Bakery, and drank a bunch of Nuun electrolyte tabs in maybe 5 small water 
bottles.  I had a cream laden coffee at the Bovine as well, a dark 
chocolate bar, and an RC Cola at Nicasio for the home stretch.

I was with Ryan on this one! Saw the subject and was trying to figure out 
why they would be displaying a prop car at a rando event. I'm fascinated by 
both however.

the cue sheet does say the turnaround is "Tomales Pt Trailhead".  I've 
never taken the Pierce Point fork, I've only gone out to the Lighthouse, 
but yes those miles to the Lighthouse, out on that otherworldly peninsula 
do feel like longer than normal miles.

Is the turn-around all the way to the end of the road/start of the hiking 
trail trail, at Pierce Point Ranch?  Pt Reyes Station out Pierce Point 
Road always feels much longer than it is.  Funny, I guess the very end is 
called Tomales Point -- I've always thought of the very end as Pierce Point.
