Another great ride with my ACTC buddies. This time farther from home than usual.
A challenging ride with great scenery
Decent pace for 8000+ feet of climbing but some long stops.
Ben and I arriving with Nina and Russ prepping for the ride. Laureles Canyon parking area, Carmel Valley, looking south
Lane Parker ascending south Laureles Grade, looking northeast
Russ & Sheila on the right and Ben near the top of Laureles Grade
Ben and Brian at the top of Laureles grade
A blurry Ted and Nina at the top of Laureles Grade
Osman and Judy, tandemaniacs at the top of Laureles Grade
This is what happens when Russ accelerates too fast on a climb. Poor Sheila, back there somewhere.
Sarah and Patrice at the top of Laureles Grade
Brian crankin' away up a hill
Great news, Russ went back for Sheila
Here's the crew heading for River Road and some fun rollers
Sarah leading Patrice and Ted up the road. All spokes working well at this point
Ben way out in front
Brian way, way out front
Sheila, Sarah, Ted, Russ, Nina, Patrice, Osman, and Judy on a mission at the Mission
Part of the crew heading away from the mission
Where did Ben and Brian go?
Scenic view on Arroyo Seco
Another view from Arroyo Seco
Who's this guy in the cheesy jersey?
Russ fixing Sarah's spoke. Time for a new wheel!
