My second brevet in a week!
My
last 400k was 3 years ago, and this one was a much flatter and I felt fine at the end. The 600k last week probably boosted my confidence.
here's the Strava route. Not a particularly beautiful route, but not too bad. Pretty flat.
On route, we passed a superfund site... interesting... the water looked cool though... BUT don't eat the fish from Clear Lake...
Highlights:
- Feeling good throughout the whole ride, even at the end.
- Riding with Rich for the entire ride, sharing stories, trading leads.
- Sushi at the Ukiah Safeway... always a good call. Until it isn't...
- Watching the full moon peeking in and out of the clouds.
- Chasing Miguel around until he finally just took off after 100 miles or so...
Lowlights:
- Hwy 101 was a bit scary at a few points when the shoulder disappeared...
Tips:
- Take less gear... like Miguel... well maybe not that light, but lighter.

| my gear... rain gear... |

| nice sunrise at the start |
 |
| I think this is the smallest crew of rider's I've ridden with. |
 |
| A nice paceline in the beginning... Miguel led the way 95% of the time. That was nice... |
 |
| on the first hill, Miguel took off... |
 |
| Riding on 101. Not a highlight... but really wasn't that bad. |
 |
| My mandatory sushi rolls from Safeway... mmm |
 |
| Cool beam of light... this photo didn't do it justice. |
