Cino part 2

[NHAero]

Dinner at Alameda Hot Springs, some folks put on the dog 🐕

Day 2 - a bit less mud and washboard! Fast downhill on good gravel after the pass! Third shot is where last year's “moon dust” was, I'm told. Dave Kirk's bike is in this bunch, Legnano green!

Last photo is Day 1 lunch.

Doing this on the iPad while boarding my redeye back to Boston, sorry for the un-rotated pix….

Weather was cool, some sun, some overcast, a bit of rain. The Austro Daimler Mark built up for me, a dumpster rescue, was great with the 650Bx42 tires. The Mafac Raid brakes were the only drawback, they are speed reducing items, not brakes, and I had a couple of sphincter tightening moments.

The ride was a blast, people were interesting and supportive and lots of fun. I ride with a younger engineer up the climb on Day 2 and barely noticed the climb during great conversation!

The oldest rider was 84, and one intrepid couple rode a vintage Paramount tandem!
