Are You Living It?

On Sunday the Etna Brewing and DeSalvo Custom Cycles Team got together with friends for a ride in Northern California. We started at Collier Rest Area on I-5 and headed down the Klamath River. Turning up the Shasta River canyon we were treated to a gentle grade and snow covered peaks in the back ground.

Through Yreka and over Forest Mountain for a chilly decent into Fort Jones. The pace picked up as we began to wind our way down the Scott River Road. The river road is gently rolling, narrow and some great views over a sheer cliff into the river. As we came up a short climb, Scott Davidson pulled out of the paceline near the front and yelled something about a mechanical. We all stopped to wait and found he had broken his crank. Many of have seen or heard about this happening, usually involving a story with a crash, either before or after.  Thankfully, no crash, but here is something you don’t see every day!

We all made it home in the end. A great day to be out on the bike. Total miles for the day 93.
