Capn Jobe posted:Well, I went and did it. Dropped a cozy $800 at Cycle Gear on Parkmoor on Saturday. I went in with unrealistically low expectations as far as helmet pricing goes, but I ended up going for one of those AGV helmets (the K3). Most of my stuff is being shipped to me, but I'm really having a good feeling about the helmet. Not only does the K3 work well with glasses, but the flip-down sunshade works with glasses as well. Having that was kind of the holy grail of helmets for me. What makes it good for glasses? I've been happy with Scorpions for the last couple helmets but I suspect they're to blame for one of my sunglasses' ear arms breaking in half.

Looking for some ride recommendations. A friend is in town this weekend and if the weather holds Sunday we're thinking of renting bikes and going out for the day. I know there's good stuff in the Santa Cruz mountains and the south end of the peninsula. We'd be coming from the east bay. I'd like to ride most of the day with a stop for lunch somewhere, but one important restriction is we don't want to go more than a few hours ride from the east bay (my wife's due date is less than two weeks away). Any specific routes people recommend?

Sagebrush posted:How long of a ride and how twisty? Thanks. I think we’ll do something like the latter. Might try to loop around 36 a couple times, maybe come back up 1. Is Alice’s going to be insane at lunch? Are there better spots to eat?

Sagebrush posted:Just keep in mind that if it's getting late in the day (after 4:30 PM or so), the marine layer will be coming in on the coast, and the ride up 1 will be rapidly getting foggy and cold. I would aim to stay on the bay side of the peninsula if the sun starting to go down by the time you're heading back. Good point

Thanks for the good advice Sagebrush and mad.radhu. Had an excellent day. Ended up going straight across the San Mateo bridge and over to Half Moon Bay. Started down the coast on 1 but it was cold and cloudy so we turned left on 84 and headed up to Alice's. First time there and man, that's a lot of nice bikes. And more leather than the Folsom Street Fair. Saw a Maclaren and an R8 too. Shot the poo poo with a crusty old timer. From there we went south until 9, then took a right and found 236. That's a crazy road. Slow but super fun. Finally made our way down to Santa Cruz, then headed back up 1 to go home. The marine layer held off and that ended up being a great way to end the day.

I wouldn’t pay 2x prices, but when a friend visited me last year he rented a Versys for the day from dubbelju and as far as I know it was an easy process and a good bike. That’s probably not very helpful information, but it’s what I know.
