Posted on August 11, 2017 by

2017 Flèche NorCal: Team BnB

Posted on June 21, 2017 by

Somehow I got talked into doing the Flèche again this year. Slow learner, I suppose. Or hope springs eternal… with a promising route – a bit of a remote start even without taking the day off Friday, not too crazy climbing … Continue reading →
