Sacramento to SF

For the last week, I've been in the bay area. I rode from Sacramento out to Lake Berryessa and camped. Then a day in the sunshine through Napa valley, and the ferry across from Vallejo to SF at dusk, Wed 11/22. Then it was time for catch up with college friends: Dave Warner and Ron Butler first. Thanksgiving I went with Ron over to David Todd and Kelley Rosborough's place in Berkeley, where I stayed a couple of days. David and I caught up, listened to music, and wrenched bikes. We three went to see No Country for Old Men, which made me miss West Texas. A fine film, that one. Monday and Tuesday I spent in SF, first exploring with Ron and visiting the MOMA. Today I rode around on my own, getting my best view of this beautiful city. I'm tired of words; they've kept me away from here. There are some pictures though.

I'm headed down the coast next, likely not using the internets so much until LA. I've never seen this stretch of ocean before, and I'm excited about the towns along the way. Today's ride got the juices flowing. I felt like throwing up, going up to Twin Peaks. Then it got much easier, and the hills weren't a problem. I'm ready for more riding, campfires, and stars. My bay area 10yr Obie reunion was great, with no shortage of good talk with good friends.
