  I had hoped to be there.  I drive in this area often.  But, this year has been crazy.  My Twinn has made it out of the yard once.  All the other bikes, maybe twice.  No way I can do this justice.  Might make a mile or two, and I'm sure something will interfere.  Just that kind of year.  :'(  Sorry, my Mom passed this evening, and I'm a little down.  This just reminded me of things I'd thought I would get to this summer.  :P

  Sorry to hijack this. :-[  Thank you for your condolences and prayers. 

  The High Trestle bridge is beautiful, especially at night.  Should be a great ride with the long bikes!

There is 309 Tandems here!  We rode the 7o mile ride Saturday.  I would have never guessed the trail system is so AWESOME here!!!  There is a few pretty cool venders here also.  The first Picture is Terry, Me and our White with Red DaVinci... The next is looking forward before the start... The Rear is looking back.

Nice pictures Don. You and Terry are a cute couple especially with the matching Campagnolo shirts.  :)
