What a big weekend! Coffee, ride, Bike Party, part

What a big weekend! Coffee, ride, Bike Party, party, sleep, coffee, Tweed ride, picnic, party, sleep. Tomorrow we ride again! Sac’s Bike Party of 400+ riders dropped off Xmas presents at the Shriners Hospital for the kiddos, who watched from above. Today was the winter Tweed ride. Such different rides, but many of the same people on both of them. Lotsa fun on these Sacramento iconic social rides. #tweedride #tweedridesacramento #bikepartysacramento #socialridesaturday #socialridesarethebest #rivetcycleworks #mixteheaven #soigneurjerseys #raleighcarlton

On the way home from Mono Lake, we drove up to Bod

On the way home from Mono Lake, we drove up to Bodie, an old gold mining town that was abandoned in the early ‘20’s. Explored town on gravel bikes, coffeeneured and acted like tourists. Going into the buildings was unsafe, but getting shots through the windows worked out ok. #bodieghosttown #easternsierras #graveltourist #townslikethese #placeslikethis❤️ #rivetcycleworks

Another stellar day off of 120 in the Eastern Sier

Another stellar day off of 120 in the Eastern Sierra’s. 18 miles of gravel at 8000’ from the top of Sagehen heading towards Bald Mtn lookout. Found a big meadow for lunch and a fun downhill back to 120. Saw about 6 cars on the road, none on the gravel roads. #roadslikethese🚲 #pavementendsfunbegins #gravelicious #adventurebybike❤️ #rivetcycleworks #thanksgivingisforadventure

Shared a Cheers8Years at S.Tufa Scenic Area today

Shared a Cheers8Years at S.Tufa Scenic Area today on our bike ride. Thx @bikedogbrewing for making so much good beer! We ❤️ you! #cheers8years

17 mile mixed gravel/sand/pavement - all at 7000’ +/-. Exploring the area above Mono Lake, and then spun down to the S.Tufa scenic area. I’ve driven by it a gazillion times, but never taken a closer look. They are really cool. Mono Lake makes tufas from natural salt water & natural baking soda (sounds like a science project), both of which are abundant in the lake. The Jeffrey Pine forest was used to build Bodie - a now defunct mining town. The current forest looks healthy and if it were on a steeper slope w/snow - it’d be perfectly spaced trees for turns. Gorgeous day. No cars. Quiet skies. Sunshine. Perfect. #monomills #southtufa #monolaketufa #sagehen #easternsierras

Spent the day getting to our camp above Mono Lake in the Eastern Sierra’s. Had the bird, Brussels sprouts & arugula + a fine bottle of red. Tomorrow we explore the area by gravel bikes. Happy holiday weekend my friends. I’m grateful to have you in my life. #monomills #monolake #easternsierras #campsiteslikethese #rivetcycleworks #holidayadventures

Went for a spin to the @nimbusfishhatchery to see the salmon running up the fish ladder. The Hatchery has been redone & now you can watch them from below. How cool is that? There were some big daddies and mamas in the pools. #salmonrunning #salmon #fishtank #fishhatchery #nimbus #rivetcycleworks #nimbusfishhatchery🐟 #coastcyclesnyc

GRR scouting part: 4? Or 5. Checked in to trailhea

GRR scouting part: 4? Or 5. Checked in to trailheads for the Bizz Johnson, and then headed to Lake Almanor & the roads back to Quincy. Drove right into the maw of the @dixie_fire through Chester and then down to Greenville, which was heartbreaking 💔. Lots of fire burn in the Indian Valley on (89 to 70). We’ll be trying to mitigate riding through fire scars, but there are only so many roads. Plus, a year makes a difference, but frankly, it.is.devastating. #goldrush1200km #davisrandos #davisbikeclub #thatsrando #randonneursusa

Rando scouting part 3: the road to Antelope Lake i

Rando scouting part 3: the road to Antelope Lake is pretty barren, but it always was I think. Janesville grade was spotty in terms of burn, and the Bizz J trail looks EZ enough to start. I’ve been told there are tunnels! #grr #goldrush1200km #randonneursusa #davisrandos #davisbikeclub

GRR scouting Part 2: after a brew at the @brewingl

GRR scouting Part 2: after a brew at the @brewinglair, we headed to Quincy for dinner & then drove to Taylorsville to sleep. Woke up smack in the burn area of @dixie_fire. Headed up to Antelope Lake & then over Janesville grade. Get psyched for both of these iconic GRR climbs! Then to S’ville to scope out the Bizz Johnson rail2trail which will be in the mix. Fingers x’d for favorable weather in June - this is gonna be an AWESOME ride! #goldrush1200km #davisbikeclub #davisrandos #bizzjohnsontrail #lassenaleworksbrewery #randonneursusa

Scouting for Gold Rush 1200k next June. Jackson Me

Scouting for Gold Rush 1200k next June. Jackson Meadows road is promising but snow on Yuba Pass road had us take the long way around. Finally made it to the @brewinglair for a late afternoon drink. Very cool place tucked away in the mtns. #ipa #calibrewing #blairsden #goldrush1200km #thatsrando #grr1200k

What’s left of the poor Flicker that met its demise by our front door is here. I’ve not had the privilege to be so up close & personal with the beautiful down in these small breast feathers. I’ve always liked hearing the rapping of a Flicker on a tree. This little guy will be sticking around RWHQ to remind me of the beauty & harsh reality of life. #circleoflife #northernflickerwoodpecker #northernflicker

Came home after a townie ride w/@Sacbike and found the remains of this lovely bird. Can anyone ID it from these feathers? This was all that was left & some light down. #birdslife #circleoflife
