Perhaps not Epic, but....

[Trek420]

near perfect weather today, clear, windy but not cold. I decided to bike ride to the Aikido dojo for Saturday class. It was nice. I may do this again.

In the elevator a woman eyed my bike and told me she'd love to be able to ride but after several cancer surgeries she feared she could not sit to ride anymore and the bike sits in the garage.

Of course I refered her here! If you'r lurking, welcome to TE!

When I got out of the station at BART I heard my name called (not Trek, my real one) and looked over.

There was Eryn and 2 other Velogirls setting out for a ride.

They invited me along but they were heading for mountainbike trails and I had my road bike. We rode from the station up to MacArthur where we parted ways.

I had to sprint to keep up with mountain bikes but yeah, I'm slow, and some of these women race.

After an hour or so at class a bunch of us had snacks and tea. Not something we always do but we have a student visiting from England so were saying goodbye to her. Nice to have the "rest stop" built in.

Then I rode back and I just got home.

Yep, I just got back from a not epic but nice ride. I got to ride with my friends Mike and Kathryn. He has a funny work schedule so it's not often we get to ride together. But the pair of them are super nice. I always enjoy riding with them. It was super windy here. We all took turns pulling, but I love it when Mike is on the front. He has a way of getting us to go just a little bit faster, but not so fast, you can't hang on. Plus he takes longer pulls. I got to meet Kathryn's brother and sister-in-law today as well. A pleasant morning.

Yep, those are the best kind of rides. Lifts my Cytomax in a toast, here's to another year of safe rides.
