Happy Thanksgiving Eve, Eve - 11/21/2023

  Good evening all, Got an e-mail from Edwin wanting to get in part of the action.  Since he's been coming to all the rides, donning the club's colors and taking advantage of being a member, might as well get it all,  In the past wrote if you weren't on the ride, you shouldn't get to know what you missed.  But then those on the ride knows what went on, why would they want to read something they experienced first hand.  Because he joins us, thought I'd compose a poem but my promethean mojo is on vacation.  Knew of one, while searching, found other acceptable substitutes.  But before I go there... Missed Ben's trio, I was right there.  But the very busy, lively establishment was Boathouse by the Bay, which as I look is next door.  Actually that whole area is rather raucous, good timesy.  Went through the photos, did not see Ben.  And as I'm a teetotaler, you'll not see me in what looks like a fun place.  And they look like they t...

  Thanks for a great day of riding.  Was not going to be there but reading Rod's report, thought what better way to say thanks but to ride with the club.  Terrific to see Rod out riding, he'll back to the long soon A nice showing, apologize not have Julie e-mail.  Hope I got everyone else. And yes I easily made it to my meal.  And yes I over ate and suffered from it.  It's not fun when your tummy ultra maxed out and got to still ride to get home Pictured is my first serving, only could down a second plate.  Sent photos of both to the wife and she goes, looks like all desserts.  Well that's what made me decide where to go. I guess as you age you just don't eat as much.  She writes, is that all as she seems disappointed.  Perhaps I oughtn't drank five glasses of ice tea. Prior to the Thanksgiving Ride, rode a Populaire which covered the Palisades and PV with Culver City in between.  Took the photo of the Christmas Tree on Manhattan Be...

  Like tall grass, a long read And apologize for all I missed.  Then they may be fortunate ones. A week left of shopping.  For those who procrastinating don't want to hear that.  Couple weeks prior Costcoed my gift list.   Drugged up, utilized the shopping cart as a walker.  Had three people ask if I needed assistance as I struggle.  Nice to know total strangers do care. As last Sunday was going to be my farewell ride with visiting donut shops, had to make an appearance.   Doped and cane aided. Left out on the rider's list on VP report is Mark Ruben came late for the group photo. Rummaged through the archive for older posts of the club's Christmas Ride which is next week.  Can tell how old from who was there. Six riders show up, Rod, Terry, PV Bike Center Steve, and a couple of riders I have never ridden with Saul and the Holiday party host, David. It must have made Steve happy to see half the bikes being Specialized though he ride ...
