Day 189: Merry Christmas


I’m going to be brief today since I have a lot of cooking and cleaning to do before my guests arrive for our “orphan’s dinner.” I’m really excited to have friends over for Christmas dinner.

I was up really, really late last night. I got home from my family’s home in Davis, CA well after midnight, and then I still needed to finish writing yesterday’s posting. I think that I ended up getting to sleep a little after 4:00 am. Ouch! So today I’m going to take it easy. I even cut my ride a bit short in lieu of coming home to start cooking.

It was great to have bumped into “E.” on the trail today. He and I met on a ride a couple of months ago and have stayed in touch via Email ever since. Today he was riding an old cruiser that’s absolutely stunning. I think that it’s really cool that he not only owns vintage bicycles, but he also rides them! We’re going to try to set up a ride for this coming week, and if we do I’ll either be riding my Bon Tempe, Phoenix, or possibly my steel OX prototype that was built by Bernie Mikkelsen. It’s rigid and has a Titanium front fork.

OK, I need to get to work. Merry Christmas to all of you that have been following my recovery, and a special thanks to all of you that have been my support system during the past year! I'm very grateful to all of you.
