Fri 5/8 NRLB RRR 6.30

I should also add that Steve, of Danger Inc., inflicted a series of searing attacks but mercifully peeled off for PA before he could levy a punishing sprint on bayshore.  sadly for him, he declined my invitation, which is open to all non-G'ers, to partake of breakfast vittles, and had to taste the cold, bitter cereal of defeat.

I got there in time for chilaquiles, which were MONEY, best goog breakfast item ever, crushing all mini-burrito varieties.  fortunately the "sorry you missed breakfast, SUCKER" signs did not prevent my fellow riders from enjoying same.

but despite that, I don't have any interest in bypassing the 'cross section, as it's one of the more fun parts to an otherwise fairly flat/straight ride.  I especially dig the wintry months, when it becomes a Mudbog, good times.  we'll have to agree to disagree about that part (Lider is with me at least).

skyline is fantastic, but in practical terms is not that convenient for an inner-missionite like myself, so it's rserved as a special treat, once a month or so (when Marius takes the day off).
