Sierra Gold Run, June 25th - 27th, 2010 - Ride Report -

Eleven bikes gathered at the staging point



Taking La Porte Road, our first stop is Brownsville for lunch at Bonnie Lou's











The restaurant was accommodating and the food was well prepared










A quick rest stop, and on to Sierraville.







I can't seem to get this blogger thingy to work for me.  The pictures above were our spaghetti dinner we had Friday night instead of Saturday due to the threat of thunder storms, which never came.  The following pictures are of our Saturday ride
