A huge thank you to everybody who came out. Organizing rides like this helps to motivate me for these rides that are right out our back door here in Ventura. I am pretty sure everybody had a great time, some new thresholds were set and everybody had a smile by the time they were done, no mechanicals or even flats that I know of. Pretty much a perfect day, even the weather worked out. That wind advisory that never panned out, thank God, is here today with sustained 20mph out of the west and gusts way beyond that, shaking the windows while I type.
I threw up some flick pics here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/rperks1/sets/72157633193081781/ We need to do this more often!
