  • Saturday was one of those days where I was so happy I was leading a ride because I never would have gotten out of bed any other way.  I led a Different Spokes ride to Fairfax, the first of a long series designed to get me back to long distance riding I’ve christened the “Wonky Knee Series”.  Fair disclosure:  it’s Ben Armstrong’s Cat 2 series which I’ve never managed to find any fault with.  I came up with the name of the series myself.  We had eight riders, I think, and it was a really fun ride. 

    Scott and the guy whose name I’m not remembering:

    Laura and Doug:

    We stopped for Lunch at Perry’s in Fairfax which has a nice terrace and pretty good food.  It’s much nicer than the Coffee Roastery across the street with their limited food choices, surly service, and science experiment like restroom.  Here we are on their patio:

    The glamorous and talented Cameron:

    Scott and Doug:

    I got home about 3.  I felt pretty good.  I had snack and then we met Mr. Chris and David with Sofi and Lucy at the dog park where Rufus ran around until he was ready to fall over.  Here’s Rufus and Mr. Poe:

    We went to bed very early.  It had been a very long day.
