Just like old times: A Saturday ride to Carp.

Friend Jeff came south to San­ta Bar­bara for a vis­it so Tom, he, and I got togeth­er for a morn­ing bike ride to Carpin­te­ria, just like we used to do most Sat­ur­days “back in the day”, i.e. when “the man” lived among us.

The left shot is in front of Star­bucks in Carpin­te­ria where we stopped for three Star­Muffins and a nice long vis­it. The right shot is with­in the great bike store along the 1200 block of State that has loads of bikes, frames, and parts, from “back in the day”. Ashe is point­ing to a poster of “Il Cam­pi­onis­si­mo” (cham­pi­on of cham­pi­ons), Faus­to Cop­pi, with a beau­ti­ful 1974 Cop­pi bike just in front of the poster.
