Captured on my Edge 705 and uploaded to Garmin Connect. Some familiar roads for a great cause.
Great route. Lots of roads I've been on many times before.
My 2009 Trek Madone at Trek Bikes of San Jose following its all black paint job at Calfee in Watsonville. No more Trek logos on it in protest of an unfavorable decision when my chainstay was cracked. Also has a new drive train, no more triple for me. And no more PowerTap.
