The randonneuring team events have not going well for me in the past; I DNF’ed both my Flèche and Dart last year. So after deciding I wasn’t quite ready to tackle DMD this month, I scrambled to find a team at the last minute.
There were a ton of cycling events happening this weekend — Levi’s Gran Fondo, CX races, Furnace Creek 508 just to name a few — but the place to be, in my humble opinion, was the Winters 200k.
Today the San Francisco Randonneurs hosted the Lucas Valley Populaire, a scenic 70-mile route that loops through Marin.
The slow march towards completing my first R-12 continued this weekend. San Francisco Randonneurs hosted a double-brevet weekend where riders rode from SF to Cloverdale (and chose from a 200 or 300k option.)
“Happy Trails To You” is a mostly flat, scenic route that circles the bay and includes 6 trails through the course of the ride: Stevens Creek; Bay Trail, Coyote Hills; Alameda Creek; Coyote Creek; Guadalupe River.
