End of year riders

Eight riders went to lunch in Davenport — again — for several good reasons. 1) It was the last possible ride of the year; 2) The weather was mostly nice (60ish); and 3) they serve a good lunch at the Whale City Bakery.

In a flurry of Tuesday night email messages a few riders decided that Wednesday daytime temperatures would be warm enough to go to lunch via back roads without hitting black ice. Yep. Turned out to be a very nice day for a ride.

Four riders went to lunch in Sunol and then came home via Calaveras, Felter, and Sierra roads. Of course there was the obligatory ride down a dead end road to see what there was to see… nothing.
