This past Saturday we took the COV/CORE group biking in Monterey. We had 27 bikers all together, plus 3 kids. While most of us brought our mountain bikes, quite a few folks decided to rent bikes from a nearby rental...pretty cheap @ $20/4 hrs or $25/8 hrs. They got some pretty nice Specialized cruisers. Overall, our bike trip was about 8 miles round trip from the Cannery Row area to Asilomar State Beach, which is right before the 17 mile drive entrance in Pacific Grove. Most of the ride was fairly level, with just one area with a gradual incline. Pretty easy considering we had some biking novices with us. We stopped at a few places along the way to explore, take pictures, and have lunch. We saw seagulls, seals, deer, jellyfish, ducks, surfers, and wedding during the bike ride. A few people (who will remain nameless) also got wet trying to cross the slippery rocks. Let's just say that their egos were bruised more than their bodies. Perhaps you can tell who they were from the pictures. So of course, after the first fall, Eileen and I waited like vultures to take pictures of the next person to fall in. Most of the bike ride was overcast, except for the last part of our ride back where the sun finally came out as we neared the homes. On our return trip, we stopped to take this really cool picture of the entire group on this huge rock. After the bike ride, we roamed Cannery Row for an hour before we drove back home.

That was a fun trip. Though my impromptu dip in the tidepools was not my finest moment.
