tis' the season to ride the old ridge route...

before it gets too hot. anyone ride this lately or even semi-recently? did it back in may of 2016
on a coolish day. exactly zero support for up to 15 miles in places. not good for a hot ride but when
the temps are upper 50's-upper 60's, it would be ideal. did it on 23's but i think it would probably be
more comfy/safer rocking 28's.

the article that spurred me to get off my *ss and slap my butt on the saddle:

a recent ride write-up:
Jewel of a Historical Ride: The Old Ridge Route - CiclaValley

i'd like to get back up there and ride it again. real tonic for the soul. lonely and desolate while
simultaneously in view of the 5 freeway for stretches.
