Hi Folks,
A number from our workout group had an interesting Tour de Fuzz 50K & 100K ride last Saturday: had rain four times during the ride which was a bit unexpected. But for most of the ride we had pleasant weather – better than hot conditions! The courses wind through the Russian River Wine Growing Region of the Healdsburg, Geyersville, Santa Rosa area. The rides were followed by a good lunch for all the riders with BBQ’ed chicken, penne pesto pasta, salads, baked beans, rolls and ice cream for dessert. A good day for all.
