    I'm glad you were able to spend a few days in LA, and impressed that you were ready to get back on the bike! That Sullivan Fire Road, Mulholland, Westridge loop is one of my favorite gravel rides (partly because it's the closest gravel to my house and easy to ride to).

You guys need to get back on the 10 and come this way and enjoy the sun to get away from the rain. Congratulations on the amazing fund raising accomplishment!! You two are for sure truly Legend and I hope someday to be able to join you guys on a ride. Keep inspiring and sharing your positivity ❤

    Congrats on your fruitful fundraising, Francis, beautiful to see everyone's support. And I think that 200-grand goal would be beautiful, too, and a solo ride across the nation in winter sounds like the dream for fans and supporters like me. Not a bad thing, not a hassle by any means. Plus, well, it would make for quality vids for winter-weary people to watch. And an aside, as one whose childhood was mostly spent in California on a Sting-Ray, anyone who says any of it sucks for cycling isn't much of a rider, don't pay them no mind.
