Tough Twenty


Claire and I went out yesterday and did a 20 mile ride out of Duncans Mills.  We rode the Ibis Cousin-it tandem with some cross tires on it. I had the chance to use A1’s Garmin computer which was fun.  We ended up with 1800 feet of climbing.  Where was the loop you ask?  We headed up Moscow Road and then turned on Bohemian Hwy. towards Occidental.  We took a little side trip out of Camp Meeker to add a short 20% grade to test out the Garmin.  We took Bitner out of Occidental and then hit Coleman Valley before turning left on Willow Creek.  We jumped off the road and headed through Willow Creek State Park and rode the ridge and down the steep hill out of the park and back to the car.  We only had one little incident off road, and that was where we hit a little sink hole and the front wheel of the tandem dropped down about 8 inches or so.  Claire flew forward into my back, but everyone was okay.
