Everyone, thanks for coming out! I ran into Richard and Arnold for a bit out there as well (Arnold on the Riv custom, not sure what Richard was on). Thanks for everyone that made the drive down our way, I hope it was a day of adventure and enjoyment! If any of you have a sec, give the good people a the IEBA a shout out on FB: https://www.facebook.com/Inland-Empire-Biking-Alliance-156207984434074/timeline?ref=page_internal
I didn't take many pics, just sort of went minute by minute getting through the day. Here are the ones tagged on IG though: https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/redlandsstradarossa/ and https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/stradarossa/ Missed Philip, Esteban, Curtis, Ian and Paul! We do have a new longest distance traveled to get there person, he made the trip from Switzerland and said he'll be back next year! https://www.instagram.com/p/BDKeZTOtSfg/?taken-by=aswisswithapulse On Sun, Mar 20, 2016 at 6:09 PM, Hugh Smitham <hughsmit...@gmail.com> wrote: > Doug, > > It was an awesome day.
