Great memorable time. Rolled on to bart from San Leandro and low and behold I run into Anne. When we rolled up to Rivendell HQ it was typical Rivendell business. Folks rolling around on bikes or checking out other bikes. Liesl was there rolling around on the Appaloosa. We all lingered at the shop to wait for a handful of people and with the sun coming down we rolled out not really knowing where we were going but just going anyway. We rolled over to Shell Ridge just at as the sun was setting with the dark quickly rolling in. A good number of joggers and dog walkers wondered where we were going, we just told them that we were on a "training ride" for a tour...*wink* *wink* We get to the campsite pretty much in the dark. We set up tents and got food ready for the night. On the last camp trip with Dustin I told him next time we go camping I would bring a live crab and sure enough I did for this one. Everyone felt bad for Sebastian because he pretty much had multiple concessions along the way to camp. I like to think I gave him one last adventure. Everyone shared food. Very few partook on the crab I was willing to shared, Grant didn't bode a lot of confidence in my food choice saying that I better cook it pass bacteria growing standards. Gladly I did cook it right and the night went without issue. Not before we had a short mini hike to "warm-up the toes". We woke up to a clear beautiful day and had some spam quesadillas. Liesl as a sign of thanks offered a really cool beads to everyone that was able to come on the trip. We rode back to Rivendell HQ for expressos and cappuccinos made by Rivendell's own barista Keven. Apparently Keven roasts his own coffee beans. Keven can roast a mean bean. Maybe new Rivendell musa product? I wouldn't mind buying Rivendell coffee beans with cool roast names after their own bikes! Oh a man can dream.
Great people, great day, great time. Again big thanks to the Rivendell crew on making this happen. Great time out. Congrats to Liesl again and thanks again for the cool bead. Pictures proved that Bill beat me to my link. http://flic.kr/s/aHsjE7TUgf -Manny "Crab and Spam? Best camp food ever!"
