Solvang March 2019

A long hiatus from our blog, but semi-retirement has motivated me to get back into the swing of things!

Our first big ride of the year almost killed us, but we managed a tough 70 miles and 3800 ft. of climbing.  Conditions were the best we have ever seen for March at this event.  Skies were a majestic blue, gorgeous cloud pillows dancing above the velvet green mountains.  Truly spectacular.

           FYI, we rode an additional 4 miles from our condo to the start
