On the road to Sea Otter: We stopped in Ashland OR, one of my favorite places to ride, but it was cold and raining, so we motored on through to the Bay Area. We’re in Palo Alto for a few days and I’m taking advantage of local weather to soak up some sun on the Intense 6.6. Here’s today’s jaunt, a standard figure-8 loop in Arastradero regional park in the Palo Alto foothills. Ah, to ride for miles without encountering a mud puddle in April!
