Roy, Michele, Pepi, Gunnell, and I had an excellent training ride on Calaveras Road. The ride was about forty miles. In addition to getting some wholesome exercise, we saw golden eagles! The weather was cool but very clear. I forgot to take my camera so I can't post a photo. Wednesday we'll ride the Palomares loop if the weather permits.

Some guy who is riding around the world has gone through three sets of panniers. Based on his experience, he insists that Ortlieb "front rollers" are the best. I'll trust his opinion and buy a pair.
