Shootingstar, that's RALEIGHDON, as in the bike.

We had a wonderful evening last night. The 7 of us crowded around our table and ate fantastic food, a few of us good and hungry from rides (some having ridden further than others)
Raleighdon & I rode our bikes downtown through the horrible traffic snarl of an important football game. (something about Cougars) It was wonderful and exhilarating to leave all those cars behind. Then Shooting Star who had had enough of biking all the way from canada and I got on our 36 bus and went home.
Mr Shooting Star and Raleighdon rode home, added an extra 6 miles to the ride (scenic route) and beat us home!


We didn't have a working camera, so you WILL have to wait for other people's pictures.

We got to know Mr Shootingstar, who is a bicycling activist, and Mr Salsa, who has lead an interesting life BB (BeforeBiking) and still does now, but on a bike.
We had amazing scones, wonderful tomatoes with Mozzarella, additions to the meal that Raleighdon (with a little help from me) prepared. He found halibut cheeks and put them on the barbeque while he sauted giant prawns in garlic and served them with Capellini in a pesto sauce made with all organic ingredients, served along side the salad again, composed of the veggies we get from our organic farm share.
