Yup, nothing wrong with me that more miles and less weight wouldn't cure. To be fair, though, even if I was in fighting trim, I would be hanging onto to the back of the grupetto for dear life, and that would be if I was on a good day.

Oh, I'm sure I could give you a run/walk/crawl for your money. I'd suggest we make book on who was slower on the climbs, but no one else would want to wait around long enough to verify the winner (or loser, depending on your point of view).

My travel has slowed down, so I'll be there on Saturday. I was hoping a new (to me) bike would be ready, but with all the travel, it is still in pieces. So I'll probably be on the Colnago.

I can't decide which bike to ride. Maybe the Cannondale, now that they've repaved the worst part of Manzanita....

That just shows that you have your priorities straight. After all, our bikes look a lot better than we do.

Sorry I couldn't make it this month. Looks like another fun ride.

September Ride AnnouncementPescadero Vintage Bike Ride

Sunday, 9/18, 9:30am - Vintage Ride

(Meet at 9:30, Roll at 10 am)

Since September is one of the very best months for enjoying our lovely California Coastline, our September vintage ride will start & end in Pescadero with lunch afterwards. By popular request, we're happily including both a Shorter Route (16.7 mile) and Longer Route (22.8 mile). :-)

START ADDRESS: 1956 Pescadero Creek Rd., Pescadero, CA 94060

Parking lot is at the southwest corner of Pescadero Creek & Stage Roads.

As always, carpooling is definitely recommended

RIDE ROUTE;

Start - Parking lot at Pescadero Creek & Stage Rd.

Right (East) - Pescadero Creek Rd.

Right - Cloverdale Rd. (.6 miles)

SHORT ROUTE: Right (West) - Gazos Creek Rd. (6.1 miles)

LONG ROUTE: Left (East) - Gazos Creek Rd. (6.1 miles)

(This is a spectacular 6.6 mile out-and-back along a quiet road through the redwoods)

STOP / REGROUP - Green Gate at the end of Gazos Creek Rd. (9.4 miles)

Turn Around - Head (West) back down Gazos Creek Rd.

BOTH SHORT & LONG ROUTES:

Left (South) - Hwy 1 to "Hwy 1 Brewing Co." (short: 8.3 miles, long: 14.6 miles)

REGROUP - Hwy 1 Brewing Co.

(Note that the Hwy 1 Brewing Co. is on the East side of Hwy 1,

and is only 1,000' south of the intersection of Gazos Creek Rd. & Hwy 1)



Right (North) - Hwy 1

Right - Bean Hollow Rd. (short: 13.4 miles, long: 19.7 miles)

Right - Pescadero Rd. (short: 16.7 miles, long: 22.8 miles)

Continue on Pescadero to Start

Short Route: 16.7 miles, with 600’ elevation gain. Long Route: 22.8 miles, with 900’ elevation gain.

We'll enjoy lunch afterwards at the picnic tables (near Duarte’s Tavern) back in Pescadero. There is an excellent Tacqueria & a Grocery Store to buy lunch right across the street, or bring a lunch.

Be there or be square, Greg Davis

I just realized the first Saturday is this weekend.

I'll be there, I was hoping to unveil the Windsor, but I got distracted working on a bike for my wife. So the Colnago it is. Unless the Bianchi calls my name....
