That was fun, it was nice to see everyone (and meet lots of other people).

10,000 miles
Woo hoo..I had fun on the rides and watching the slow races was intriguing to say the least!

Odometer rolled over 10,000 miles on the ride from LG Diner to Alice's.

Great ride coming up the 84 from San Gregorio to Alices. Different route from Alice's to Cameron's compared to last year? Got my butt passed on the twisties. I should check the chicken line on my back tire.
The Boddington's Ale, I thought that was weak and watered down but got a decent buzz, kinda snuck up on me. Must buy more
I didn't know they had a dog friendly patio. I could have shared my fish and chips with my dog. Poor guy missed out on a great ride.

I love Scoot to the Moon... & all the usual suspects were there too-
My newest speedo recently hit 66.6
My PO Box and phone have that combo too.
What's up with that?

Okay, after Scoot it shows around 230 miles.
Now I'm gonna have to schedule it's virgin oil change!
Great day, beautiful ride down from SF with a group & then back to the coast with Josh , fish & chips, and fun.
Thanks Callum ,
Laura

Wow, I like the video. Felt like a roller coaster ride or the sensation of going off the road and hitting a bicyclist. Maybe the sensation that you're trying to pass Ian but it just doesn't happen .

I did swing wide towards one bicyclist by accident... riding those curves with one hand isn't necessarily easy.... but it's fun.

Must admit that the 'twisties' gave me a few extra grey hairs as a newbie (riding < 1 yr). I hate those blind turns because you can have a cyclist on the right, and another on the left and a big ol honking SUV riding over the double yellow because they just have to pass that cyclist on the left by a more than adequate margin. Although the vistas are beautiful, the 400+ foot drops on the right hand curves without any railing are intimidating.
Too bad we can't stop for photo ops on some of those vistas where we got to the top, because they were stunning. So I would classify that particular route as 'technically advanced'.
Well, you haven't frightened me off yet...

Now we know what we missed - good vid - thanks Mark!

Should have figured that take off from Alice's would be early since we left LG a little late... But that tall cold one on the lawn behind the restaurant was tasty. Until we saw everyone take off up 35. Dang!

Thanks for posting that video (though I got a little seasick watching it), that was a beautiful ride as always.

Christina posted some pix on facebook of you in the slow race. Don't know if you were losing or not, though...
