Steve, Patrick, et al: You guys are onto something. I can't recall a recent ride with more than a couple of other people where someone wasn't shooting photos at every chance. I'll bet a dedicated "photo ride" in a target rich environment would be highly attractive. Our SoCal Riv riders group rides always generate tons of photos, probably because we stop a lot & have the chance. If photos were a primary reason for the ride, rather than a by-product, it would be a hit. With the right pastries, maybe that tea kettle idea would fit right in!
BTW, the area Dave lives in is chock full of vineyards, wineries, horse properties, old barns, plenty of dramatic coastline, etc. Don't let his disclaimer fool you. The Central Coast has some of the best cycling in California. Plenty of lightly traveled, secondary roads and numerous routing options. dougP On Nov 16, 3:30 pm, doug peterson <dougpn...@cox.net> wrote: > Dave: > > Thanks for the input.
