It couldn\u2019t have been a more perfect Sunday to enjoy the out of doors.  With notepad in hand, the reporter and I saddled up my tandem, refreshed our coordinated balance and primed up for the ride.  It was slick to take care of <a href=\u201dhttp:\/\/www.sanleandrodowntownassociation.org\/BikeForm.htm\u201d>registration online on the Bike SL page<\/a> before hand.  Michael Gregory greeted us in front of <a href=\u201dhttp:\/\/www.englanderpub.com\/\u201d>the Englander<\/a> where everyone was registering, signing the wavers  and queuing up for the ride.  After a quick stretch routine the ride began, with the whole group going together to the lower Chabot Park before the hard-core bicyclists continued into the hills for another 5 miles of mountain biking.  One other tandem tag teamed along with us.  The short ride took under an hour even with a break at the park.  We had just warmed up by the time we reached the finish line and would have loved to go further; but the fanny gave thanks for stopping when we did.<br \/>\nAround noon the post-ride festivities started up.  We got our little gift bag and scooped out the BBQ; but the price tag and Gatorade turned us of.  Instead, we took a seat under the canopy and relished in the beauty of fantastic jazz by  <a href=\u201dhttp:\/\/www.myspace.com\/laycebaker\u201d>Layce Baker Black Diamond Blues Band.<\/a>  There\u2019s nothing better than beautiful music in the fresh air of a warm Spring day.<br \/>\nAfter the hard-core riders returned, the <a href=\u201dhttp:\/\/www.ebbc.org\/safety\u201d> East Bay Bicycle Coalition<\/a> hosted a family Bicycle Safety workshop for parents and a mini kids rodeo. It was great to see the workshop in action after approving EBBC\u2019s request for support from <a href=\u201dhttp:\/\/www.alamedactc.org\/\u201dACTC<\/a> earlier this year.
