Great ride on some familiar roads. It was foggy near the coast but blue skies only a few miles away from the water.
Those little bumps out at mile 75 and 80 were more than I expected or needed.
Super fast Jeff about to prove how much faster he is than me.
Richard and Jeff took off not to be seen again.
Cristin chased Jeff and Richard until the climb out of Aptos,
Michael pulled me for about 30 miles. The last 10 helped me stay with Cristin and him.

Lots a great scenery on this ride
Not sure what these evergreens are. Redwoods maybe?

Another nice view

I'm glad that sign didn't say "Saturday" I would have had a difficult time continuing beyond there

My Black Beauty after a long day on the road. In the past I hauled my bike on our Lexus RX330 which our kids called The Turtle. This is my New Jersey car which our kids call a turd. I sold The Turtle to my brother and I like my little red turd.
