Family ride: 17 miles to the beach at ch. creek and back.

I was late so I drove to 4 mile house where I met Gary for a ride to the res.It was an easy ride with some show-off breaks up hills, followed by getting passed. We went ot the beach that I had never seen before. The sand got in my eyes as I realized my trouble with dust and sand in the past has to do with following someone. Gary got cramps so I drove him home from 4 mile sparing him the climb.

I was late because I road a Specialized Roubaix. I liked the tightness of a new bike. The length of a Roubaix and the slightly larger 56 cm frame was nice. These bikes come with SRAM compact double drive trains. IF I can get the one with a 11-32 cassette, You get a lower gear than on a triple. I'm still suffering from the sticker shock: they are over $2k.
