David: Great write-up & photos. Looks like the group grows with each ride! And the variety of bikes. That cargo bike on Mulholland is quite an achievement. Looks like a lot of gear for what sounds like an S24O or maybe just the challenge of carrying it. We gotta get you & your camera on the Oregon coast. More lighthouses, historic sites, driftwood, rock formations, etc, than even you could photo.
