Well, Kathy and I are back home in San Francisco. Had a wonderful feast with 26 people attending, 10 of them under age 8. As I mentioned in the earlier message, I rode my Quickbeam from home in San Francisco to my oldest son's home in San Mateo. They hosted T-Day this year. Kathy drove down in the truck and after I arrived I threw the QB in the bed, freshened up, and enjoyed the rest of the day in pretty typical fashion: eating, visiting, wrestling little kids, and footbal.
I pretty much stayed to the usual route on the ride down the peninsula. That is Great Highway in SF to Skyline, Sawyer Camp Trail, Crystal Springs Reservoir, Canada Road to Woodside. From Woodside, dropped down out of the hills into the flats of Redwood City, then skirted SF Bay back north to San Mateo. 45 miles on the day. Saw LOTS of people out riding, jogging, walking the dog, etc. Everyone getting ready for the feast, just like me. It was fun. It was a very moderate day, and I was clad in the basic 'Dellian Cult attire. I wasn't in full regulation uniform, however. True Dellians can ding me for wearing a crash helmet, wool knickers with SEWN-IN pad, and cleated mountain biking shoes. Other than these demerits, I pretty much looked like any other RBW disciple. Certainly the Quickbeam did. Hope the rest of you had as good a day as I did.
