Brunch & Group Ride: Lick Observatory (Rescheduling)

[rdprdp01]

I did a dry run of the Brunch & Ride I hope we can hold in this fall. Parking was outstanding. A true rarity in Northern California!



John as always did a wonderful job with my egg-white, vegetarian, eggs benedict:



I was tempted by the blueberry pancakes, but I managed to resist my sweet tooth.

The Farmers Market made for a lovely post-meal repose. Farmers, ranchers, and fishermen within 100 miles or so of Pleasanton travel each weekend to sell directly to the public.

If you have a Top Case of Saddle Bags, I believe you can make someone at home happy with produce, vegetables, and baked goods that are both healthy and delicious:







Because life is so hectic and we are all busy on the weekend, I scaled down the ride to a lovely 30 minute tour through the gentle turns of the Pleasanton / Fremont foothills. Foothill road is tree covered, two-lane, and has a beautiful canopy of trees. Most people use the Interstate which runs parallel to it, but I prefer the scenic drive, which I had to myself Saturday morning:




If I have sparked your interest and you live in the San Francisco Bay Area, please send me a message. Let’s find a Saturday morning some month that works for us. Brunch is my treat, and I look forward to seeing you soon.  David

Have a great week.
