After this spit of wintry weather, at last a hint of summer blew into the East Bay and the sun smiled radiantly. 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 registration online on the Bike SL page<\/a> before hand. Michael Gregory greeted us in front of 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.
\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 Layce Baker Black Diamond Blues Band.<\/a> There\u2019s nothing better than beautiful music in the fresh air of a warm Spring day.
\nAfter the hard-core riders returned, the 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 earlier this year. More highlights will surely be coming on the San Leandro Patch.<\/a> For now, here\u2019s the skinny.<\/p>\n
