Today we rolled out the first ride from the West County Revolution. A real who's who of Sonoma County cycling met at 9:30 in front of the freshly painted store. Dan Hopley, Gavin Chilcott, Don Winkle, Brian Anderson, Steve Michel, and I started what I promised would test everyone's cave of pain.
Long story short because I'm tired - Steve broke a spoke and turned back at the base of the steep section on Sweetwater. Hopley made my cave of pain look like a small crack at the top of Sweetwater. Gavin flatted multiple times and turned back in Monte Rio. Everyone loves Willow Creek. Brian and Hopley flatted at the same time on Willow Creek. Hopley crushed me again on Willow Creek. He gets the KOM prize for the day. We head back on Occidental Road, and Don and Brian turn towards Santa Rosa at Mill Station Rd. Hopley and I ride by the shop, just to say the ride started and finished there. We go home. I eat a watermelon. Steve comes over. We talk shop for a few hours. I'm still entering inventory.
