Some final thoughts on the 2019 SF2LA ride.
Our weather was great, riders rode well and supported each other. Mechanical issues were minor. Camaraderie was in abundance as was beer after each day 🍻.
Thanks to our president Jim Berklite who pulls this ride together now for 12 years. Final numbers are not in yet, but I’m confident that we have reached the $400k threshold since the inception of the ride.
A special thanks to our support team of Steve, Craig & Don along with Cindy & Jenelle(?) who took great pictures & provided massage folks for us in Morro Bay & Oxnard. ... See MoreSee Less
