Davis is hosting a populaire on Saturday. The theme is vintage bikes, but you do *not* need to have a vintage bike to participate (though why wouldn't you have one!?!). When I've ridden it in the past it has been a very social ride and November seems a fine time to begin to pull back on the throttle and begin base building. IIRC, the
route passes by Berryessa Brewery in case that is of interest. Be careful though, this route has well over 900' of climbing! ;^)
