Ride Report 9/26

Partnered 18 miles back roads around Clarksburg/West Sacramento

Well, it turns out I was nursing a cold. A very minor one, but still a cold. Since I can't make the Twin Cities Bridge loop, we cut out the first half of the ride and park in Clarksburg and tootle around the backroads. Trying to figure out a way up to the levy, we manage to catch a small group of riders. T's road racing blood cannot be denied and we overtake the other riders. Then we see and pass (at about 18mph) another group of riders. Then we see a huge group at the school in Clarksburg. This luckily means a pitstop for T and we find out the group is actually a tour ride (and I've forgotten the company's name) that travels the south Sacramento River vineyards over a few days, averaging about 60 miles a day. I ask T if this still counts since we passed people that were doing a multi-day long-distance tour. He confirms that of course it still counts.
