Yosemite 2021, Part Two
February 25 – March 5, 2021 On Tuesday Kim, Marty, Joanna and I took off for Yosemite, but with a check in time of 5pm there was no hurry to get out of Oakland. The drive would take us roughly four hours as we decided to try out a new route this time, taking Highway […]
Yosemite 2021, Part One
February 25 – March 5, 2021 A couple of weeks later we took off for Oakland to spend five nights with Jessica, Kris and Gemma, to be followed by three nights in Yosemite. Kim and Marty joined us on Friday and on Saturday we hosted a BBQ on the roof of the apartment. James joined […]
Lockdown 2021, Part Five
February 2021 Weather in Los Angeles continued to be abnormally dry during February, usually a rainy by our standards month, and so we kept up riding, including one with Theresa down to the Point Vicente Interpretive Center. It is located next to the lighthouse of the same name, which was built in 1926 to aid […]
Lockdown 2021, Part Four
February 2021 We’d been home for a week or two when our governor lifted the state-wide lockdown freeing us to ramble far and wide and thus, we made tracks for Oakland to spend a long weekend with Jessica, Kris and Baby Gemma. Not having seen her for two months, those of us with children who […]
Lockdown 2021, Part Three
December 2020 – January 2021 Not long after our run out to the Donut Hole and Tio’s Tacos, Kim and Marty invited us to join them at their condo in Solana Beach and without hesitating we said yes. And so, on Thursday the 14th we made the drive down, again a breeze with little or […]
Lockdown 2021, Part Two
December 2020 – January 2021 We parked the car in the dirt lot outside of the gift shop and hiking poles in hand, hit the trail for what would turn out to be an easy four-mile hike through various types of landscape. The first part of the walk took us past a couple of abandoned […]
Lockdown 2021, Part One
December 2020 – January 2021 A couple of weeks after our return from the road trip we drove up to Oakland to help Jessica and Kris move into a two-bedroom apartment they’ve rented in their current building, with Kim and Marty joining the fun. Staying in this building proved to be the best possible option […]
October Weekends, Part Two
October 16 – 18,2020 Less than a week later we found ourselves driving up to Buellton on Friday for a weekend of bike riding with a group of our riding friends in Los Angeles. Five of us (Heather, Deborah, Cathy, Joanna and myself) met up in the parking lot of Pea Soup Anderson’s Inn before […]
October Weekends, Part One
October 9 – 11, 2020 We’d spend the month of October at home with the exception of two weekends out of town, the highlight of the month being two separate one week visits from Jessica, Kris and Gemma. They’d also spend a couple of weeks in-between with Kim and Marty in Henderson (we’d run there […]
Arizona Sojourn, Part Eight
September 9 – 20, 2020 Done with our doctor’s appointments late in the day on Thursday, we lit out for Solana Beach knowing we’d likely miss the dinner hour, so down around San Clemente we pulled off the freeway to eat at a Chik-Fil-A. This is one of those conflicted calls to make as we […]
