Left Sports Basement SF around 9:15 with Henry. Great weather, with a little fog around the bridge. Felt good heading out. Brought 1 bottle of Prolong, my 2L hydration pak, plus cinnamon bread, dried apricots, chia seeds, and clif drink mix. The route was as follows:
SF > Sausalito > Larkspur > San Anselmo > Fairfax > San Geronimo > Nicasio > Petaluma > Santa Rosa > Rohnert Park > Healdsburg
notes
Ate lunch in Petaluma along the water. Felt stuffed and happy. Then I downed a blended coffee milkshake, and felt like crap. This continued for the next 20 miles. Then we filled our bottles and the hydro pak with ICE and it was like a whole new beginning. I love COLD WATER. The last stretch was great, and I felt like I could ride all day. Before we got to downtown Healdsburg we took a quick break to jump in the Russian River -- this was f***ing amazing and again I felt like I had 100 more miles in my legs. Arrived in Healdsburg and had an ice cold beer @ Bear Republic Brewing Co. Henry's folks arrived shortly thereafter and we made short work of garlic fries and calamari before heading home.
