8 cyclists. 2 rode separately from us and did the route twice. We did 45 miles with 3700+ ft climbing. Sunny and chilly. Headwind for second half of ride. Some yapping dogs. Lost then found sunglasses. Explored an old schoolhouse. Stopped to gawk at the remains of San Toy. #coffeeoutside #lunchoutside
