Did a nice loop up to Mt. A with Steven. I really need to get a permanent in the books up here. A 200k is badly in order...

K.O.-ed
And it's probably a good thing I don't remember anything about this... but boy this sure looks scary now that I'm looking at pics of it from 2.5 months ago. Early one Tues morning, I donned on my brand new kit and met up with c510 crew for the Tues Tunnel loop... and on the first 50 ft from the meet up spot I slipped on something and I was over the handlebars and on the ground. I was with a big crew, this happened early on in the ride, and was with a doc... quite thankful for these facts.
 |
| not gonna enlarge some of these pics... here's how Kimbo found me at Highland hospital. They took some X-rays, catscans, etc... and found a broken rib... from a month ago. This injury was quite weird and it never hurt. I was kinda surprised myself, but the nurses were shocked. |
 |
| Not sure how, but my fitbit was destroyed! |
 |
| The first two days back I slept for 14+ hours. My bell got clanged... |
 |
| here's my blood spot 2 days later... |
 |
| EBMUD was working on that sewer lateral down there and my front tire hit something... |
 |
| 1 mo later |
 |
| 2 mo later... |

Another busy weekend in the bay... feat. Thomas and Camille
 |
| Started off a Thurs with a nice ride with the C510 crew... glorious sunrise |
A rare weekend in town! We had Thomas and Camille for the weekend... and boy did we have a lot planned... I'll just let the pics do the talking.
 |
| Fri - Ran with Nikko to school |
 |
| meanwhile... Kimbo saw this guy with his pet goat in Berkeley |
 |
| Fri afternoon, we started off with a ride down to Chinatown Oakland to buy some pastries... |
 |
| and went to OMCA for Fri Nights! |
 |
| Pretty amazing sunset... |
 |
| The dualing RadWagons have been quite the hit this summer... |
 |
| The next morning was national neighborhood clean up day, so I took the 4 boys down to the creek so we could help out. They found a bird egg... |
 |
| Tons of trash... |
 |
| And got free bandanas. |
 |
| Then we went to check out the Dragon Boat Races at Lake Merritt. They didn't really care about the races, but there was "Dragon Land"... which they did care about. |
 |
| Probably the least exciting part of their day... |
 |
| Then we cruised down to Jack London for the Eat Real Festival |
 |
| Which also featured lots of people, bubbles, games, etc... |
 |
| Oh, and we made some custom engraved wooden spoons... courtesy of Toyota Mirai, the sponsors. |
 |
| dab... |
 |
| The attempt at the group pic... |
 |
| This Paella stand had the longest line... |
 |
| Then I took the Dufour kids to play soccer. My boys watched and cheered them on. |
 |
| We rode by our clean up site later. Check out all that trash! Good work neighbors! |
 |
| The next day was Sigman's 50th B-day. So after cruising out to Walnut Creek with the fam, I veered off and rode up to the saddle with them. |
 |
| Them as in Sigman, Moses, Adnan and his wife. |
 |
| meanwhile... |
 |
| The boys had plenty of fun... |
 |
| The boys wanted to do a ride of their own, so we went to the bay bridge. |
 |
| Where they found the trolls... |
 |
 |
| Oh the good ole days when the train went to SF. ABOVE the bay. |
 |
| And soon we were at Sigman's 50th party at an Afghan restaurant. Our kids behaved quite well... the other kid? Not so much... yikes, what a terror. |
 |
| Happy B-day Sigman! |
Getting a wee bit stoked for ski season... Candide is the GOAT
