Ayumi has been caught on film a couple times on Pashnit Tours. One of my favorite shots of her on the Central Cal Pashnit Tour back in 2005.

You can describe what it's like to ride through coastal fog on a bike, but hard to really capture it.

Attachment 69080


What you can't see in this pic, is to the left, it's straight down about a 1000 feet. :D

Attachment 69081


Fortunately, with coastal fog, at least you can ride above it.

At right beneath that fog is the Pacific Ocean.

Ayumi atop Bolinas Ridge.

One of my all time favorite spots in the Bay Area.

The soul of Pashnit.

Repli-racer, Big cruiser & Adventure bike... all on the same ride together. :2thumbsup

Attachment 69085


The requisite Pashnit flower shot. Rule is you've got to shoot some pics of flowers, and of your food.

Although no idea how that got started. :harhar

See the bug?
