The Russian River 300K Brevet route captured by my Garmin Edge 705 GPS and uploaded to Garmin Connect
The Russian River 300K Brevet profile captured by my Garmin Edge 705 GPS and uploaded to Garmin Connect. I forgot to press the Start button on my GPS until after crossing the bridge so I lost a couple of miles.

Yours truly and Ken Emerson at the 1st check point at a Safeway in Petaluma. Ken shepherded me through the day as he's done many times before.

Honey, I'm in Petaluma and this bike ride is gonna take a lot longer than I thought.
Ken leading Susan, Mojo, Michele, and Barley out of Petaluma. Ken, Susan, Mojo, and Barley were on fixies with Michele and me on our "broken" bikes. Finally, some sunshine, warmer temps, and drier roads.
Susan always happy
Michele looks happy, too
A nice vineyard just outside Petaluma
Mojo glad I found his money at the secret checkpoint trailed by Michele and Barley glad they didn't lose their money
Susan and Michele smiling for the camera
Ken pretending he's winded.
The ocean was roiling. Chile effects? The picture doesn't do it justice. I missed the huge breaks with the camera.
Just missed a huge wave crash over the rocks
The ocean was busy
How many photos of the ocean did I take?

Yours truly, Andrea from Germany, and Ken at the end of the 300K. Andrea wanted to ride with someone on the way back from Marshall and Ken said it was okay for me to come along, too.
