I am envious of the hills and rides you talk about. And how you describe them. And the bikes you ride. And the people you ride with. But that’s it.

Nice report.

Greg,

Thanks for stopping by and reading the ride report. I didn’t get nearly enough photography done en route (which explains why I had nothing good of you, Ryan, Hahn or Brian). If I had the legs that you guys have the photo coverage would be a lot better. At some point I’m going to get up to Portland for a couple of days, and hopefully get a good ride one day and good photography the next.

I can’t say enough about how inspirational the whole Rapha Continental mission has been to my cycling. I just wish I’d discovered road cycling in my twenties and maybe spent a little less time hitting golf balls.

Look forward to that next ride.

Beautifully illustrated and wordsmithed as ever, Michael. Nice job. Wish I could have been there but, alas, was motoring up to Lake Tahoe at just that time. Glad to see there was no need to drape any carbon on trees while ascending Tunitas. With respect to endurance, it now seems clear to me that I may need to invest in a box of toothpicks – I wonder if Rapha sells some black/white/pink ones?
