P2P 2025 Recap

We had a great ride. Some lessons were learned about the logistical plans for 2025. We might run 2 SAG vehicles in 2025. We had a lot of riders, today, with 27. The route was actually a bit shorter than last year’s version. The distance to the showers and the beach is 82 miles. I only gained 2000′ feet in elevation but some had 4,000. We did not ride on the worse section of the bike trail with massive frost heaves. It’s great that they paint the heaves for visibility, but it’s rough riding.

I rode in the B group. We jumped into the water at Herring cove beach. They released baby dolphins at the same time !! It was great to reach the beach before 1PM. It’s nice not to be rushed at the end and hurrying for the boat. Greg and Evan rode with me in the B group for the whole way and were sold riders. This was Evan’s longest ride with the club. I really enjoy tour riding.

Some of the crew went to the Basement and had an OAR-G!!

Walking over the bridge…Safety first!!

This place has more sharks than the Island??
