No photos. The weather was a bit crummy - overcast all morning with a few hints of sun every now and then. The coffee and pastries at the bakery in Point Reyes were tasty. We did see a newt coming back on the trail through Samuel P Taylor Park. The skies opened up on us as we descended back into Fairfax. There is nothing quite like rain pelting you in the face on a descent. I was VERY glad I put on my rain coat for that descent. It was a lovely ride though. The company was good. Lunch after was nice, especially the chocolate cake.

It was a really nice ride! And yes, the beer afterwards at the Iron Springs Brewery was excellent.

A great day with good friends. :)

That was super fun! Nice riding with you all. And it was fun to actually stop and have something at the bakery. I was thinking about it and I don't think I have actually had a morning bun from there in years. :rolleyes: We usually just ride through. Nice to stop and enjoy things for a bit!

Ah, the siren call of Team Whiner.

It was great that everyone could take a break from their training to come out for a social ride. Nice to see everyone!

Heh, I'm still not convinced that you're not in reality some chain-smoking beer-bellied 280 pound 64 year old guy who poses on the internet as an active young woman known as andtckrtoo :D
