I've attended the Great Western Bicycle Rally based in Paso Robles for the past
4 years.
This is held in early summer. Even when it is hot in PR, the coast and

The diversity of riding and climate in this area is great.

Plus the Great Western Bicycle Rally is about as un-racerish multi-day event
I've encountered.
I enjoy all the little kids zooming around the fairgrounds on their bikes.

As is our custom, pal Brian and I spent this weekend at the Great Western
Bicycle Rally in Paso Robles, CA.
The rally is a great family affair and the variety of riding in Paso Robles is
excellent.
Pictures may prove that it happened:

Being a contrarian, I will not carry my watch on a bike ride.

The past several days have been very summer like here in Northern Calif.
I'm lucky to have a ~7 mile ride to work and am able to commute most days.
Here's a photo taken on the bike trail (~1 mile) portion of the route :
