Great team rides this weekend. Saturday, 6 riders, 60 miles, then team meeting/ prep talks about items to pack, how logistics will work for camping all week, travel to and from, important details, etc.

volunteers for Sat or Sun

Saturday we rode Morgan Territory & Sunday Tunitas Creek and Half Moon Bay. Isabelle is a strong, fast rider, and takes photos for us.
 Isabelle helping Julio, both are quite proficient at changing tires though.
Jim, Isabelle & Jan on a snack break. The amount of calories we need to consume is over the top.
Highway 1 view, we will ride by this again on Day 1, June 3.
Towering redwood trees on Tunitas Creek Rd, a climb of 2000' in 6 miles.
The Pulgas Water Temple in Filoli, taken from Canada Rd. One of the best benefits of riding is the scenery we get to enjoy. Another, of course staying fit and the best of all, knowing we are helping others with our fundraising efforts.
