Great pictures, thanks for sharing. Our club had a ride in the hills above Santa Barbara today. It was a pre-ride for our Cool Breeze charity ride Aug. 18. I just did the 1/2 century, 2500' climbing. Sorry to miss the Pasadena. Looks like some great bikes. Hope to see everybody next time. My dad had a 1965 Datsun, silver 1600. The red car brings back memories. Thanks again.
Google "Cool Breeze Ride" if you need a challenging ride in the cooler hills of Ventura and Santa Barbara.

Thanks for the photos Miguel. I think your 88° was from the start of the ride :-) My car showed 96° as I was driving home about 2:00p. The three water bottles I drank during the ride, and one on the way home were almost enough. :-)

Id like to think it was 88° the whole ride. That last stretch to Beantown was brutal with the heat bearing down on us.

Thanks for the pictures Miguel. I enjoyed my first ride on the gold Peugeot. I forgot to charge my phone, but here's a few more pictures I got before it died.

Another great day in Pasadena. Good turnout too, and lots of interesting rides. All good until my gold Pugeout flatted 3 miles from the finish. Thanks for helping, Wilson. Those Paselas are a pain to get on and off Mavic rims. Turned out to be a cut sidewall. Oh well, good times up till then. Hope to see everybody next month. Here's a few pics.

Sorry, Bartley, I never saw this post! I was at the first two Eroica, California's, but haven't made it to any after that. I've come to the conclusion that I'm just not a big fan of riding my road bikes in the dirt. Who knows, if they change up the venue for next year and it looks interesting, I may give it a try again.

Looking forward to seeing many of you for the Nov. 5 ride today. Weather will be in the low 80's and sunny, hopefully with a bit of breeze. Keep those wheels turning!

That Carnevale in the photos from September is interesting - and it appears that the lugs used are Medici stock. I know that Carnevale guy has an Ebay store and has been into cycling for a long time. I wonder if he either worked at Medici or had a pal there build him a frame? The "Carnevale" logo sure looks Confente-ish to me...
Beautiful bikes, all. Especially that orange/black Condor

Great ride today. I was afraid of another 90° California autumn day, but it was just about perfect. Good turnout, lots of interesting hardware. Must have been "Peugeot Day". Heres a few pictures.
My trusty Legnano.
Not my gold Peugeot, but a beautiful PX10.
