Yes, we’re in California. Travel was fine. I, however, didn’t feel terribly well on the flights, and the final leg was downright painful (silly sinuses). But here we are. We spent the night in Vegas (technically Summerlin), then drove through the mountains to Bishop. We spent a few hours at the Buttermilks on Saturday, spending […]

Dirty Dozen hills: Sycamore->Canton->Boustead->Welsh Canton, with 34×26 gearing isn’t so bad, given you stay to the right, out of the, umm, grass growing between the cobbles. It is still silly steep, though, and I imagine doing it in a crowd of people is challenging. A good link-up to assess my condition for the ride would […]
