I felt much better today, Friday, March 21. I rode with Bill Harwood who turned 61 today and Woojin Lee. We were excited to start our ride off to the Bay Bridge and then, as we approached the gates to the East Bay span - what is this? Gates still locked after 7:00 a.m.? With sad faces for a few seconds, we turned and headed to Tunnel Road. Yes, I felt better, but still not at my best. The Bay was still overcast and fogged-in, so I couldn't get any lovely view pictures. When we finally got to Grizzly Peak, I was so drenched, it was as if I had just taken a shower with my sweat pouring down my face.
We headed towards Orinda BART to meet Ben Connelly and rode a bit through Orinda's old town, when all of a sudden I hear a voice all to familiar to my ears. Joy Goto was driving her mother around for errands - what a joy to bump into Joy. From Orinda, we ended up in El Sobrante for Bill's birthday lunch at a Thai-Vietnamese restaurant, which was actually quite good. After stuffing ourselves, we finally headed back to the Bay Trail and home for Bill's birthday celebratory 61+ miler.
