The Bikely route Seth put up earlier has it @ 33 miles & 4100 ft of elevation. Guesstimate about 15 miles of dirt from looking at the route. Doug, your presence is requested over @ flickr On Wed

Did anyone get stats on distance, elevation, actual amount of dirt vs pavement (the dirt always seems more because you're going slower!)? Total ride time was around 5 hours for Jerry & I. I'm not normally a stat guy but that ride was epic. dougP On Sep 8, 5:21 pm, David Estes wrote: > Dramatic

That is a great smile! And that was after pushing up the first real steep spot on the roadie double you have! Obviously not a serious cyclist. Bleriot Guy Bruce (BGB) was hangin' and drinking beer about the point we started missing him! On Mon, Sep 7, 2009 at 10:00 AM, Aaron Thomas wrote: > >

Yeah, awesome ride, awesome crew, great trails. My smile in the photo David took basically sums it all up: http://www.flickr.com/photos/cyclotourist/3895641522/in/set-72157622279022002/ I look forward to the next SoCal Riv Ride. Anyone know the fate of the Bleriot guy? On Sep 6, 10:29 pm, Davi

Holy cow! What a ride. If you've ever found yourself longing at the Mt. Diablo photos on RBW, and find yourself in Santa Monica, head up to the hills for a mixter. Photos: http://www.flickr.com/photos/25671...@n02/sets/72157622155202441/ Terse ride report: 12 brave souls climbed up Sepulveda
