Stacy's K-hound ride

Stacy and Greg Kline are both going for their K-hound award (10,000km of official RUSA rides) this year. Greg already has his, Stacy got hers on Sunday on my Four Rivers 200k brevet. You pretty much have to ride a 200k brevet every week for a year.

It was a beautiful day - 52F at the start with a high of 65F and almost no wind. The trails were quiet and the sunrise was colorful.


We met at Costco and ride down the SART to the beach. The pass under PCH was flooded so we had to walk our bikes around. A little tricky with cleats.


We were both starving when we got to The Crema


and as we sat outside eating we saw the Batmobile drive by


The recent rains had left some puddles but the mountains were heavy with snow.


We ate light at the 7-11 in El Monte so we were ready for a cheese quesadilla at Chronic Tacos. The usual headwind into Long Beach failed to make an appearance which was good because locomotive Greg was busy scraping barnacles off his (boat's) bottom.


The sun was close to setting as we left Belmont. Not quite as spectacular.


This is what you look like when you have finally finished your K-Hound!
