I found the pot of gold

[Steve in SLO]

Rode up and over the coastal mountains via Santa Rita Rd in Templeton, CA yesterday. An out and back ride to Whale Reservoir. Absolutely beautiful ride and the road was perfect after our recent rains. The Newts were friendly, but loaded with tetrodotoxin. I rode Gravelking 38 file treads and had no problem with traction even in the loose stuff. I think it’s because I weigh so much.

Wow! This looks so good. This is one the list!

Glad to see you're out on your bike! This ride looks amazing. Hope we get to ride it together some time

Presumably your Eroica registration carried over to this year so your opportunity is already lined up (albeit in only one direction). That is, unless omicron postpones us yet again …

Love that picture!

Stole a flat 50 spin in a weird warm spell between storms. Several incredible moments of the quiet that we are all looking for from time to time. Rode right through a murmuration of starlings in the farmers' fields.

Later on the road goes through the wetlands on the south side of the lake. The only sound echoing across the plain was the calls of a large group of sandhill cranes.

Everything was so beautiful I overcommitted on the distance (that's the trouble with an out-and-back ride), but all's well that ends well.

Beautiful, but please tell me there was no/low wind.

Just the right amount of wind--a steady headwind on the way out, and a steady tailwind on the way home. Couldn't ask for a better day (especially in January!).
