Hats off again to Craig Robertson, his wife Lorna, and crew of fabulous volunteers for hosting another Winter Solstice Double Century.  Originally scheduled for December 14, 2002, the ride was postponed by rain to January 4th, 2003, a day which dawned bright, clear, and surprisingly warm.  Ten riders headed out from San Jose to the turnaround at Pinnacles; another ten or so left from Gilroy for the 100-mile version.
