The East Bay Del Norte training group led by Facilitator Hugo Sosa with Co-leaders Angelica Reyes Sosa, Jeff Adamus takes such good care of us cyclists. They are kind, encouraging, and knowledgeable. Because the group is much smaller than the East Bay Wildcats, we get to spend a bit more time with them - picking their brains with our questions.
These training rides are fascinating because I get to see the beauty the East Bay has to offer, that I never explored - now I get to for a great cause. Today was another ride to Martinez, but from Pinole. We crossed both Benicia and Carquinez Bridges and it simply was a delight to experience the new bridges and see the quaint downtowns of Benicia, Martinez, and Crockett where we stopped for lunch. We even rode into Vallejo passing my high school, St. Patrick, now known as St. Patrick/St. Vincent and co-ed. And, look, Ma, I got a short video of Downtown Martinez with today's farmer's market. I was exhausted by the time I got back home, and was a bit disappointed that I wasn't able to visit with Mike Dodge and Leo Nam in San Francisco this beautiful, late afternoon at Q Bar in the Castro where an AIDS/LifeCycle fundraiser is taking place.
