It was wheels down at Encanto Park in Duarte, over the San Fe Dam and then south through the Whittier Narrows and along the river edge to Downtown Seal Beach for coffee at Bogart's.  A slight tailwind helped us back north following the coffee break then over the dam and back to the park for lunch and laughs.  73 miles round trip and good times. A few of the guys had to miss the ride but we'll catch them on the next one.  Ride On!

As the State of California and County of San Bernardino began lifting restrictions and eased into reopening of business in Windbreaker Country, we lads gathered for some beautiful morning rides over the Memorial Day weekend.  Still a ways to go before we return to "normal", we will continue to Ride On!

Riding with Care #2

April 19, 2020.  
California, the U.S., and the world at large continue to deal with the massive effects of the COVID-19 pandemic crisis. For us in Windbreaker country, this has meant illness for at least one of our club family members, stay at home orders, business closures, and social distancing.  In order to keep some measure of normal and to preserve sanity, we have continued with our weekend group rides, but with proper social distancing and extra care. Now entering Week #5 of the stay at home order, early signs indicate we may be turning a corner in a much hoped for return to normal sometime soon.  Ride On!

Riding With Care

March 21, 2020.  The Windbreakers gathered this weekend for rides on both Saturday and Sunday under a cloud of concern following the Stay at Home order issued by the California Governor just 3 days prior.  The order was issued to slow the spread of COVID-19, the highly contagious and dangerous virus wreaking havoc in California, the U.S. and the world.  We did our best to ride carefully, while employing "social distancing" practices all the while. Ride On and stay healthy all!
