The Stratus XP was too big for the fork rack I built so I took off the front wheel and simply put the bike down on a rubber mat. Double click a photo for a slide show.
Traveling east from Arcata on Rte 299 I drove along the Trinity River. That's the Trinity Alps in the background.
Spring on the Trinity.
A few of the 4,000 riders.
In addition to cloth maps we had well marked turns throughout the ride. I was green.
Some riders were color coordinated.
A few riders were pet coordinated.
We headed out of town through walnut orchards.
Some riders pedaled as fast as possible all day long.
100 years ago California had a great train system. Chico still has a train. I do wish it ran over to the coast. Train travel is definitely the civilized way to go. I can see myself getting on in Eureka (the way people did 100 years ago), putting my feet up, opening a New Yorker and a half a day later getting off in Larkspur on San Francisco Bay. I'd take a folding bike.
Nobody leaves the Wildflower hungry.
I followed the Trinity for much of the ride home. Wouldn't you?
