Hi Paul,
In between rainstorms my wife and I do some pretty easy 10-20 milers on
the weekends before traffic heats up. We ride up the coast and do a
little circuit around the lower part of Wilder Ranch. Side streets,
pathways, trails. I'm 67
now and I don't want any broken bones at this point, so speed and
sharing the road are low on my list.
My wife Patricia is amping up for
her 15th straight Cinderella Ride (2500 women, 60+ miles) in
the East Bay. Last year after her foot surgery
she rode it to the first rest stop and then stopped. She earned her
badge and went back to recovering. I've been enjoying a 1977-9? MCS
threebar single speed for my rides - built in speed governor and the bmx
brakes that are bad enough for me to keep it mellow.
Steiny persuaded me to get this bike (with all original parts that I’ve
saved of course) at his buddys garage sale.
Giro put on a cross/mountain bike
event in the Sierras called Grinduro. Patricia and I went up there as
volunteers. Everybody had a really great time-kind of a Woodstock
moment.
Was matting and board riding pretty
strong up until November or so. Had good days a Sewer Peak and some
solo days at Rockview. Surfed perfect 2-4’ Sharks Cove one magic
Saturday morning for over three hours with an exceptionally polite
married couple on standups, a girl riding whitewater on the inside,
myself, and one other person - we couldn’t believe it!. Wave after wave
after wave in full view of the teeming masses on the cliff and at the
Hook! Fantastic! After each set we’d all look
at each other and laugh.
On another late summer day, Wingnut was out at
the same place with a google client and he kept looking at the board
you shaped. He asked who made it and assured me that he thought it was
a very nice board. In general, it’s been pumping here too.
This is what I like about Four Mile
Below is a view of the palms on the
east side of the campground at Refugio. The original is about 3” tall.
Done at the same time as the other view.
And here’s a place you may know…
That’s it. Thanks for your great stuff.
Peter
