Scott's Ride Blog

Flew up to San Fran for the Breakaway from cancer ride with Big George from Highroad/Columbia. Me and Mark (aka Country) made our way down to the water front in the pre-dawn hours. Geared up and caught a few words from the Big man before setting off :) The route was fun starting with a bit of climbing which with my new 36/25 setup was a bit tougher then usual :) we hit the coast and I got the guys to get in behind me to draft. We headed out around a really nice lake and thru a ritzy golf course. @ 1hr we saw Big George and the first wave coming back at us. We wound thru a really nice park and back across the city and hit one more quick climb. Fun times! I convinced Mark to since we were all dressed up with nowhere to go that we ride out to Sausilito and take the ferry back. Over the Golden gate we went and down into Sausilito and grabbed breakfast and coffee in a nice lill shop before catching the ferry back across the bay. Activity Route: -- Elev.
