Day 1

Taking showers and getting ready to head out for dinner here in Walnut Creek. It's a nice upscale community about 30 mile from Sam Fran.
We would have made it much further but we had to backtrack eight miles to find an Apple








Store. Here we are 40 miles
from where it was invented and My iPhone 4 froze up. I couldn't handle the thought of going a week without it working. I will take endless abuse for this but it is worth it.
Tomorrow we trek to Yosemite. Our latest thought is that we will
head up to Tahoe on Monday or Tuesday; a little gambling and night life bookended by some wilderness and hiking. Sounds like fun...
The KTM bikes are slick. They are very tall and thus tough to mount, especially with my artificial hip. Once mounted though, they are fun to ride; lots of power and easy to handle. Unfortunately we were in rush hour most of the time. Tomorrow we really get to test them out.
Looking forward to a full and fun day tomorrow.

-----------------

We are off to a great start. Fabulous orange bikes and great weather, although it is very hot and we are wearing massive amounts of jackets, thick pants, body armor and these really cool green vests. Disaster struck at a Quiznos in Concord CA where George's iphone conked out. Could have been a trip and blog killer but it turned out to have been only a four hour diversion as we tracked back to the Apple Store in the swishy SF suburb of Walnut Creek.
