Point Reyes/Mount Vision

Peloton: Sarah, Adam, Phillip, Michael, Sarah, Renee, Steve, Graham, Jen, Michael, Will, Eric, Ben, Linda, Gayle, Phil R, John, Theresa, Mark, Jean, and Shaun.
Place: Olema, Inverness, Marshall, Tomales Bay, Point Reyes, and Mount Vision.
Particulars: It was a cool overcast day (we dodged the rain again) perfect for climbing but very windy. I was testing my new Trek Madone (with compact double gearing) and latest Garmin GPS unit. Without stopping, we passed the Busy Bee Bakery outbound as we made our way through Point Reyes National Seashore. There was lots of climbing with awesome coastal ocean views. Our crew had several technical difficulties including Phil’s traveling chain and Steve’s busted frame with a road closure (which we bypassed) on our way to the lighthouse. (luckily, we had the bike repairing talents of Eric) Sarah and I feasted on burgers and sweet potato fries on our way home through Petaluma. A great day!
Performance: We cycled for 5 hours covering 67.83 miles reaching speeds of 42.2 mph (13.5 average speed) with 8,580 feet of climbing.
