Too bad the ride leader blew a spoke and taco'd his rim while descending Page Mill. Fortunately, I had a spoke wrench and was able to at least wobble my way home. Beautiful weather on the coast. There are still some poppies and green grass on West Alpine. Broke a spoke descending Page Mill.
Summer is here and attendance is surging.
We had 26 today, including guests from Manchester, England. We took over the Alpine Inn, and, subsequently, Starbucks in Los Altos. 26 of us rode over Mt. Eden and Villa Oaks to a delicious lunch provided by Pete and Gertrude Blasberg at their home, with gourmet bread provided by Jack Graf and Emam Shahi. The 5th Cupertino Backroads ride continued our no flat tire tradition. Eight WW's and 6 guests met the leaders in Larkspur on this bright warm Sunday.
