I did the SFR Del Puerto Canyon Brevet last Saturday.  The ride on Del Puerto Canyon Road was spectacular.  It has been a while since I did a 24 mile continuous climb.  Fortunately it was only steep at the end, but dang it was steep at the end.  Beautiful country there, especially since it was cool and not yet raining.  The only place to have a control out there is The Junction Cafe, and all the randos treated themselves to a big plate of whatever.  I had a monster helping of chili fries.  In front of the Junction Cafe, I spotted an unmistakeable rig.  The rider had overnighted mear Mt Hamilton and his group was going to camp again Saturday night, despite the guarantee of rain.  It was odd running into a familiar face and rig out in the middle of nowhere.  Name that rider:

The brevet finished with 2 hours of darkness and about 3 hours of rain, but all in all it was a delightful ride.  One more for the R12!

He appears to have lost a frame pump since the last sighting. I
recall as a kid sticking Scothlight tape on my bike (it was a new
invention at that time).

I was there when the S24O gang rolled in also. Speaking of celebrity,
I spotted Ann Trason (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ann_Trason) in the
morning and saw her name on the finish list, talking about endurance
sport legend.

There's something intriguing about that bike, BUbba. If I'm right, you may want to take the pic down or be banned from Riv for a while!! ;)  (I could be wrong, though...)

Thank goodness for that confirmation.  I was afraid I'd have to go back into witness protection.....

I was one of Jay's companions on our S72O. It was an awesome
adventure with some great friends, trails, roads, and even a bit of
snow at the summit of Hamilton.

Cheers,
