This ride is one of the easiest that VVV ever does, at 31 miles and barely more than 800 feet of climbing, it's hardly a blip on the radar. But it's nice to have some easy riding now and then and that's why there's a Sprinter Special. A pleasant cruise through the countryside, a bit of ocean air, and a train to bring us home. What could be better? Well, maybe spending the ride home with a Bike Tour Hobo? Hmmm, gotta ask Rob about that.
OK, there was a whole lot of misty grey today, and no sunshine until we were back in Escondido, and no coffee stop in O'side... can't fix the weather, but we can always add a stop next time. (And I probably shouldn't say this, but an unnamed contingent did a couple of extra miles after getting back and somehow found themselves at EscoGelato.) This week's ridership: 8 Cyclists (4W / 4M) Next week's ride has more miles and more climbs...

Thanks for posting the link to "Bike Tour Hobo." It helped me to quit feeling sorry for myself for mBIke Tour Hobo is a very interesting and practical blog - except for the getting rid of every material possession part. Oh and thanks to you-know-who with the green helmet and the cell phone the size of Nebraska for sending the photo while you all were comfortably snuggled together on the Sprinter - and for telling me all about the wonderful gelato afterward! <Sigh> It doesn't pay to miss a ride with VVV.

LOL, I bet the Green Helmet says that it doesn't pay to work for free... But if you do, then it's a lot easier to get rid of those pesky material goods!

Hey...thanks for posting the link to my site; however, that isn't me on the train....and yes I don't own any material possesions outside of my bike and tour equipment right now. Just waiting to get fired.

It must have been a Bike Hobo impersonator! Thanks for setting the record straight. I admire your dedication BH.

Ha, ha, I don't think our Tout Bike Hobo was the kind to set up a blog! Good times on the Sprinter! And always a fun ride with VVV. Leave a Reply. |
