These are a few pictures from the SF Randonneurs ride on Saturday.
See the story I have posted for Change Your Life, Ride a Bike! here:
Make that 75 miles…

We met at 8am with the David Baker/SFBC organized ride. I dont think I knew what was going on until I got some coffee in my system. By 8:10am and the ride had left. Mmmh. We had plan B. I think plan B was plan A the whole time. Anyhow.
A great group. Steel frames, an xtracycle, carbon, aluminum, the frenchie, a fixie, just great. All age groups. We started snailing out from the ferry building towards the bridge. Met more peeps. Then over the bridge and met with more peeps til we reached Mill Valley. By far the most fun I’ve had in a group ride. Listening to music up camino del real was soothing and made those hills way easy. Adrienne had a little boombox with sound. Nice!
Here are some pictures of the ride (22 miles) and the Festival in Fairfax. Enjoy!
