Seagull Scavenger Hunt: Biking the “49-Mile Scenic Drive”
I know the “49-Mile Scenic Drive” was created to showcase San Francisco’s attractions by car — but I’ve always wanted to ride the entire route by bike.
Randonneur Ride Report: San Francisco to Cloverdale 200k
Every summer, the San Francisco Randonneurs organize a super fun double brevet weekend that begins in San Francisco and heads north out to Cloverdale (riders have their choice of either a 300k or 200k route). After kicking back and relaxing over a catered dinner at the host hotel and tucking away several hours of sleep, folks stretch their tired legs and return to the city the following day on another 200k route. Last year I had done the Cloverdale to SF segment, so I thought I’d ride the other direction this time around and volunteer at the finish.
