2017 Redlands Strada Rossa

Notes from 2017: Did the ride last year on a hardtail. Definitely had more navigation issues last year. The course was demanding last year. The food was INCREDIBLE last year. I wish I would have stayed for the entertainment last year, really bummed I didn't.
This year I did it on a CX bike. I felt completely damaged when I was done. The food was pretty good but honestly, my body wasn't ready to receive the food. Ritual Brewing was nice but seemed lacking in seating, especially outside. More shade outside with the band from last year would have been awesome! Regardless, I'll be back next year! What a crazy ride on a cross bike!! Next year, I'm gonna ride a fatty!! Can't wait!!

Thanks for coming out! CX bikes are great, but I think fatter tires help out with this ride. Enough dirt to ride over.
I prefer last year's finish to this year's, the house lends a nice feel to the ride. I mean, there are plenty of rides that start and end at breweries, but how many at a big house??? The pole results were pretty split on it, with some missing it, and others saying they liked this more.
