pee and other filth

A few more details on 2008 Pee can be found here.
I'd like to make it a different event each year. This year I opted with the obvious cross bike century. I expect a smaller turnout as many people:
a)don't have cross bikes
b) hate canals
c) are wondering, wtf mate?
d)suck

To that end I better get my ass into shape and what better way than a century off the couch? You can even do a RUSA sanctioned brevet if'n yer feeling frisky. Me? I'm wondering what the hell to ride. Cross bike or commuter?
Those choices makes we really want a road bike but alas it is not in cards. Wish I had one I could demo for a couple of months....write a report on. Subtle enough?
At any rate it was a sweet commute in on Monday.

Saw this in Rancho Solano, a rather expensive hood.





























Reserved parking.


















Why does it smell like livestock in here?














Time to go home.

tour de phat

A night ride and the Tour de Fat were on tap this week.

I do enjoy the TdeF and hope that it continues.

The ThNR took a change of pace and we hit National to the BV parking lot and back.

























































Everyone loves Tour de Fat!






















































































We hung around this guy during the parade.
He had some good tunes going.




























Where is Waldo?

20 hours

Just enough time for an urban overnighter.
























































I met John and Gordon at Gordon's.




































The weather was perfect.
































































Finally we broke free of the city.














Ma Nature treated us to a show,
























































We rode and did some hike a bike.














We saw birds that tried to be rocks.












We had some dinner.














We got rained on a little bit.




























We grossed out John.














Who responded by going to bed.














We awoke to this.
