Coffee Ride

Went out today with Mark and his four year-old son Ben. Ben was on a trail-a-bike, a kids bike that clamps onto the seatpost. We had a great time going down the valley to the local hot coffee shop... with Ben complaining on the climbs when Mark asked him to kick in some horses and loving it on the descents. At the coffe shop we met Alison, Mark's wife, with his other son Gavin and hung out for a bit. For the ride home Ben went back in the car, allowing Mark and I to pick up the tempo a bit. We did a bit of exploration, finding a new version of an old route, one of the things that I love about cycling.

The weather is supposed to be nice for the rest of the week, which is great. But I can't really complain as I've only been caught in the rain the one day, and even then it was only a drizzle. Tunitas Creek, Old LaHonda and all the rest of the climbs around here are just waiting to be ridden, and it's always more fun in the sun.
