The Old Spokes Are Topping Off Their Tanks

Three of the Old Spokes members are in the final ride preperations for their multiday adventure ride from San Ramon, CA to Monterey, CA June 3,4,5. This will be a semi SAG supported ride meanng that the first day is totally self supported with the second and third day supported by SAG vehicle.  I the "Navigator" will be pulling my BOB trailer with the first day & nights gear. The first day will be 100+ miles to Santa Cruz via Palo Alto and over the coastal mountains to Highway One.  The second day will be 80+- miles to Carmel, CA through some of Californias best strawberry fields, and Moss Landing.  Sunday will be a relaxed ride around Carmel and 17 mile drive.

Welcome to The Old Spokes Cycling and Touring Club

The Old Spokes Cycling and Touring Club was established to bring together cyclist from all walks of life who enjoy the outdoors, cycling, and the adventure of the open road as seen from the seat of a bike.  Our club is made up of people primarily in the 40+ age group, and our rides range from short 7 mile rides to long 100+ mile rides.  We welcome begginers, experienced, and advanced riders who are open to learning about safe cycling, navigating  routes, and having a good time while enjoying the outdoors.  I like to stress that we are not a race team, and we do like taking breaks during our rides. 
Our rides are geared for training rides in preperation for our longer rides which are either longer miles or multiday adventure rides to far off destinations.  You can see us on the web at http://www.theoldspokes.com/, and check our blog from time to time for interesting cycling adventures.
