On Saturday I started day by biking up Old La Honda road, down west 84, up west Alpine Road and back down Page Mill. The weather forecast was rain, rain, and rain. Of course the big difference between US east coast and west coast is that on the East coast when the forecast gets it wrong, the weather sucks big time. Here in California, when the forecast gets it wrong, it is a gorgeous day. Case in point, Saturday.

Anyway, in the afternoon I attended the Memorial Ride for Matt Peterson and Kristy Gough that were killed by a Sheriff deputy a week before. There were about 1000 cyclists all possible color and shape. We started at Foothill College and ride towards the Steven’s Canyon Road. The nice thing was that police was super cooperative and they blocked road for us. The ride itself was slow, but it was really nice to see so many cyclists joining. At the end, there was a small memorial for the cyclists that included a big cross, team jersey, lots of flowers, etc.
