Primavera Century
Looking forward to seeing a close friend and her Merkur later in the day, I had extra motivation to go fast on this “short” 100-miler. Both up and down beautiful Calaveras Road, I was flying on this day with near-perfect weather. I was out of the house at 6:30 a.m. and back before 1:00 p.m. Not bad!
