I imagine the zipped-up guy like the kid in A Christmas Story wearing his big snowsuit when he fell over and couldn't get up

Very cool! Especially since I've done some of the rides mentioned, including Grizzly Peak both last year and this year. Too bad the author didn't mention that trio of Amici Veloci ladies who kept following him all day.

Yeah, he only mentions himself and other men cyclists. No mention of any women, or any women's century rides (Cinderella, ferinstance). Oh well. Whaddayou expect.

It's back to "sacking shirt and oat cakes" as they say here.

Well, I think the author was just highlighting some of the really stunningly beautiful rides here in Northern California. The ones he did mention could all easily make anyone's top 10 list - for both beauty and great food. While Cinderella is a special ride, the route really isn't all that pretty, at least not when compared to these other rides.
