Osmond and his tandoori went awol, but were replaced by the wily Topher, who gave us the honor and rare privilege of personally leading us thru his namesake Topher's Twin-Dolphin Twist (TTT), which replaces the vomitous trash&diesel-fume road to san mateo airport. joining were altendizzorf, marius3, bcizzle, and yours truly, as well as an all-vintage chap from tahoe on a cool orange Merckx and pre-co-opted-by-the-gay-movement rainbow-festooned Spectrum Cycles jersey. marius served him a traditional viking hors d'oeuvre of 25mph leadout thru the foster city perimeter, which seemed to sate his hunger for punishment.
greeted with the usual passive-aggressive "sorry you missed breakfast (sucker!)" signs at no-name, but feasted nonetheless.
