Re: Seven Years. Riding the Central California Coast.

Takes me nearly 6 hours of riding non-stop to get across the state after leaving the group mid-day. No breakfast, no lunch, just granola & water. My wife & kids plus a host of obligations await my return.

I stopped midway & pulled into an almond orchard, the ground covered in almonds. Not a sound. Just the way it should be. No worries here & likely why we do these rides. Forgot about work, duties, responsibilities & other synonymous sounding words. Not one car went by. The wind, the almonds, and me. Seven years of tours, 60+ tours we've closed out, soon to be coming up on a decade of showing fellow riders around the state.

Over half the riders on this tour were returning riders we've ridden with before.

Tells you something. Here's to the next 7 years.

Re: Seven Years. Riding the Central California Coast.

Tim,

Congratulations on seven years of doing what you do, what you were clearly meant to do, and doing it better than anyone.

Keep up the great work.

David
