Continue readingBe sure to check the website the morning of the ride as my smart phone has turned dumb, and cannot access WhatsApp. Let’s try this again. I have it on good authority Taqueria Playa Tropical in New West has good food and vibes. Let’s go there for lunch! This restaurant

Expect rolling hills and extended time in the saddle. This is not a ride for beginners. Riders should be self-sufficient
Continue readingYou know when you’re running out of ride ideas when rides start going vertical. This is a classic training ride for roadies near and far. Expect a long, sustained climb. Pace yourself, or expectorate a lung. Break is at Nester’s at the top. Meet: 9AM at JJ’s on 6th and
