Skunk Ride

Met at Starbucks today for the weekly ride. The Kahuna was in town for graduation festivities so he joined us, and it was just like old times. Camello leads a fast pace, pumping his legs so fast that Vandenbusch nicknamed him “the Portugese Piston”.   Nice overcast morning as we made our way out to the bay.  Caught some pretty stiff wind for such an early hour. Did the off road loop at the end of the trail, then up heart attack and off road again to the tippy top behind the Nike Missile base. We were going to walk down to show Camello the quarry when Steve spotted the skunk.  We decided to head in the other direction and enjoy the view of the bay instead.  Heading back down and through Coyote Hills and saw another skunk! All these years of riding have never seen a skunk, and then see two on one ride. Must be skunk season, or the company I’m keeping! Nice ride back with tail wind most of the way. Vandenbusch peeled off to go to a little league reunion baseball game, while the Kahuna and I peddled back to Starbucks and enjoyed a coffee. Great way to start the weekend.
