It was raining at the end of the week so I brought the new GRS bling.
I wound up at Ten Speed Spokes (
http://www.tenspeedspokes.com), a nice
shop just over the bridge from Goat Island. It's in a barely renovated
old train station. Nice kid working there, showed me a map of 30ish
mile loop along Ocean Ave, Belleview, and some of the local beaches
that was...and I cringe of the idea that I'll be using this
word...breathtaking! Absolutely beautiful. Belleview's real estate was
comically colossal. It was like riding by 200 different variations of
the Museum of Natural History.
The roads by the water were pretty shot, and I spent a little more
time on unshouldered major roads than I would have liked, but
definitely a nice touring-style ride.
I'm going to be back in town for a wedding in early June with the MTB
(weather permitting) and maybe the tandem (if my GF is able to get
some time away from her bridesmaid duties). I'll keep y'all posted.
