Riding in the Rain.... and Beau's New Bike!

All of us with bike envy!

It rained today... but more on that in a moment! Beau came out to ride with the Friday Riders on today's ride from the Golden Gate Bridge to the Tib Loop. Beau's bike is "special" (no I don't mean it THAT way). Beau has the limited edition Cannondale AIDS Lifecycle Bike -he won it at the Kick Off Party earlier this month. (see previous post with pictures).

We rode out of the Conzelman parking lot- down down down the Ft. Baker bike path toward and through Sausalito. I felt a few sprinkles on my face as we road over Camino Alto, but they stopped falling as we rode the rollers of Paradise Drive toward Tiburon. We stopped in Tiburon for a "snack" at Sweden House and as we sat snacking the rain really began to fall! By the time we finished eating and headed out it was once again a slight drizzle until we hit Sausalito and the climb back out of Ft. Baker. Right about there it started to come down a little heavier but nothing too miserable.

It wasn't bad, the rain riding- I just felt bad for Beau, whose new bike now needs a thorough cleaning!!
