Jerry and I rode yesterday for the first time since Dec. 6. Between bad weather and traveling, our poor tandem has just been hanging in the garage along with the single bikes and the unicycle.
We took off with just a bit of trepidation yesterday. Could we really climb Camino Alto? Could we get around Tiburon Loop without a nap?
Yes and yes. We actually had a lovely ride, though were more tired than usual after not a very long time on the bike. But it felt great to get out there. My right knee had been achy and it feels so much better today.
Despite it being gray, overcast and a little chilly, there were a lot of ALC'ers out, and we saw quite a few of them.
At Shark's, the stop in Tiburon, I took time to hand out flyers for our March 20 fundraiser. What started out as a crab feed is now wine tasting, hors d'oeuvres and lots of wonderful auction items. You can read all about it at: www.alctasteofspring.org
Working on the fundraiser has consumed an inordinate amount of time, but ultimately, I hope it's worth it. I'm pleased at the generosity of some of our local businesses.
I'm a tad nervous that I won't be able to devote time next week to working on the fundraiser. I'm off to Norway for a week to visit my friend Arna and to maybe do a little cross country skiing and some dancing. While I really can't wait I am a tad apprehensive about not having the week to work on getting more items for A Taste of Spring, but I have a feeling once I get to Oslo, I'll be able to let go a little.
After our ride yesterday, we went to the usual-- Johnny and Theresa's Comfort Food Cafe in San Rafael. and yes, we always have fries with that.
We then headed over to Trips for Kids where Jerry picked up a Trek carbon time trial frame to put on EBay for them. I hope it brings them a bundle of cash!
