The Birds and the Bees (and the Bikes)

Writing about our rides and sharing the stories with the rest of the rando community is a time-honored tradition. Reading the accounts of the joys and sorrows of the riders, can be fun and inspiring. And for those of us that have not done a ride before, it can give us a sense of what we are getting into. There are not that many ride reports from the riders of the Gold Rush Randonnee out there, but those I was able to find are quite good. If you know of any other reports or photo albums, please let me know, and I will add them to the list. As far as I can tell, everything is from the 2005 edition, and there are no reports or photos of the 2001 edition out on the Web.
