Giving thanks



We improvised a Thanksgiving at home this year. Laurent. Audrey and their baby (Antoine) came to visit for the weekend and Wei brought two Jahrs to the dinner. The belgian cooked American style turkey was pretty yummy, and it came with all the traditional Thanksgiving dishes.
We had a relaxing long weekend driving around, enjoying wines in Sonoma, and walking around many neighborhoods of San Francisco and Berkeley. Check out the pictures here. Maureen

Already 140 miles and more to come ...




After a few months of watching Cedric biking to work once or twice a week from San Francisco (42 miles/68km) and thinking he was crazy, I finally got tricked into trying it out (for some reason, Cedric always succeeds to convince me to do these things - it sounds like so much fun when he talks about it...). So one morning Misha was nice enough to let me borrow his bike and surprisingly I really enjoyed my first ride, trying to keep up with Cedric aka speedy gonzales (love the draft).
The next challenge was to convince Cedric not to buy a new fancy bike for himself and recycle his "old" bike on me: I wanted my own new fancy bike!
After a lot of test-riding, the best fit was a Trek Pilot 2.1. Two weeks later, the bike already clocks 140 miles (225km). The pictures are from a weekend ride with Jeremy around Tiburon (paradise loop). How is the weather in December where you live?
