Hi,

Here's a lazy Sunday afternoon in Mountain View, Ca. I ride a Fuji Touring IV Series, and my wife rides a Specialized Rock Hopper (which she often inadvertently calls a Hard Rock).



Today we put a Zone bar each into our saddlebags, filled our water bottles with tap water, and headed out to ride the trail along the shoreline, which extends along the heel of the San Francisco bay.

In this picture you can look across the bay and see the haze over Milpitas, Ca.


Here we are riding south. You’re probably looking over my wife’s shoulder at the north part of San Jose.






Along the way you can see NASA Ames Research Center. NASA is a group of pretty smart people who send people to outer space and shoot laser at the Vulcans.


We stopped at a random school to eat our Zone bars.










Then we continued on. It is a long and well-maintained trail, with nice things to see. We pedaled and pedaled. Then the trail suddenly ends at a chain-linked fence with a generic sign that says “End of Trail.” We scratched out heads and picked our bikes up and turned them around, and started pedaling the other way.
