Strawberry Fields Forever
May 19, 2008 – 11:07 pmOn Sunday I rode one of the local Santa Cruz century rides. It starts in Watsonville and winds up to Summit, back down to Soquel and then around Aromas, back to Watsonville.
I saw several people riding the 100 mile version on unicycles:
Apologies for the poor image quality. It was taken with my iphone while I was riding.
The ride stops were well organized with great food. Italian goodies at the Calfee factory, and they showed off their bamboo bikes. Crepes and pies at Gizditch Ranch.
My overall time was a disaster. I was very slow at the start, didn’t ride in a group much, took way too long at the rest stops chatting with people and 10 miles from the end I witnessed a crash and stopped to administer first aid.
