Yesterday was President’s day and I took the day off. I slept in late and then we went to north beach to walk around.
We’re at Jack Early park. Nathan wanted to go because everytime he went the gate was locked and he was strating to think that it was all part of some elaborate brank I was playing on him. Here he is looking sinister:
“These Humans Disgust Me”
I biked all weekend but it pretty much sucked. Saturday, I rode 50 out to fairfax in wind, rain, and 43 degree temperatures. My poor feet were numb all day. I was riding with this guy from Lake Placid, NY who was a really strong rider but I wasn’t going to go any faster than I was because the pavement was so slick. We got passed by team Phonak in town for the bike race. Made no attempt to keep up. I was shocked to see the size of one of them. Bikers are usually pretty little but this guy was HUGE! Maybe he wins by eating the other riders.
I did the lifecycle training ride but it was really cold and I was sweeping (following the last rider to make sure nobody gets lost) so I never really warmed up all day. Here’s Stephanie and Ian from the beginning of the ride
It was a tough day too. Some jerk ran into one of our riders on the bridge and cut his finger and knocked him off the bike and he didn’t even say he was sorry he just got back on his bike and rode off. And then, when I was coming back to the bridge on the hill out of Sausalito, this guys blows by on the right, in the shoulder and almost hit me and the guy in front of him. I called out in my loudest voice a few comments about his riding manners and I can neither confirm nor deny that a string of explatives might have followed.
