[RBW] Santa Cruz Randonneurs 200k ride report

Last Saturday I rode the SCR 200k that rides up to Half Moon Bay and back to Santa Cruz, including some miles through San Gregorio/Stage Rd., Pescadero/Haskins Hill etc. I think the best part of the ride was that 8 of the 9 riders stuck together throughout the ride and finished the ride together.

Golly that's gorgeous and kind of heartbreaking, the thought of ordering a custom Ebisu and it doesn't fit. Were mistakes made on the front end? Ordering the wrong dimensions? Since it was acquired recently, what was the turnaround time? A year? Less? More? I ride by the shop frequently
