    I didn't sleep well on Saturday night.  It's often like that after a long ride.  You'd think I'd sleep like the dead but no.  I crawled out of bed on Sunday morning and headed over for my CAT2 ride out to Tiburon.  I definitely felt like I'd done a long ride the day before but felt otherwise pretty good.  The weather was good and we had a nice turnout.  I rode ahead of the riders for the first part of the ride so I could be in position to point directions at Paradise and Trestle Glen in Tiburon.  I showed up at the stop first where I saw my friend Phillip who's in traction for a few more weeks recovering from a crash.  Still he's all smiles:

    I got some pics of the riders as they headed past my turn:

    Me.  With awful gray roots.  I'm can't go take care of that for two more weeks:

    Riders assembled at Mike's:

    The riders we swept in would have been sooner but ice cream came a callin':

    Beau gave me a ride home and I was in the house at about 2:30 which is a pretty good time I thought.  I got cleaned up and started working on stuff for Elaine's birthday party.  Mr. Poe made most of the food but I made appetizer and dessert.  Shrimps with Korean dipping sauce:

    Apple bundt cake:

    Candy.  Yes I made candy.  It was chocolate with pretzels and salty peanuts in it.  It looked fantastic and tested well with it's target market:

    The guests left at 8.  I'm going to bed.  I'm beat.
