Fun and Sun

Yesterday was a good ride. On my way out from San Ramon towards Walnut Creek I caught up to two guys who ride about the same pace as I do. We struck up a conversation after a nasty woman in the BMW SUV honked at me for no apparent reason. I say no apparent reason because she was turning right and had the whole lane to herself since I had pulled into the traffic lane to make it possible. She gave me a nasty look and I asked "what is your problem?". After that I turned the other cheek because she was already setting a bad enough example for the child she had in the car. There was no need for both of us to prove adults can be childish.

Once she departed we were rolling along around 20 mph with me in the slipstream of these two guys riding side by side. I sat there for a couple miles and then Bob passed on the other said of the street and yelled "Jeff" at me. I made a quick U-turn and set off to catch Bob. It was no mean task because Bob was motoring along. I finally caught him and rode with him to California Pedaler where he was having some work done on his bike. We chatted along the way and it was good to finally get to ride with him.

After going to Cal Pedaler with Bob and forcing myself not to buy anything. I took off down the road back to my car and home.
