*According to independent polling conducted by Kira’s Advanced Polling & Research Inc. Kira's back from Portland and we were going to do an easy, makeup, belated birthday, gravel, ride to Apple Fritter for breakfast/brunch. But this morning she had some trouble getting the rear derailleur back on the bike and it wasn't shifting either. After playing around with it for over an hour, we finally got it rideable and went over to Sports Basement since that was right by the route. They don't normally take walk-ins on the weekends but the mechanic saw that we were trying to do a ride and helped us out. Turns out the rear derailleur just needed to be turned back more. The DI2 cable seems to have an issue. It's really hard to push it all the way into the derailleur to power it. Luckily, Kira had a functioning bike again and we were only 2 hours behind schedule. We decide to head straight to Apple Fritter because I was hungry and also had to get home for a specific time. In Redwood Shores we ran into Catherine getting ready to start a Wandrer around the neighborhood so she joined us instead. And at lunch Kira's friend Sam was going to Apple Fritter for lunch as well so we met them too. As we were leaving, I turned and saw this woman that was super familiar. It took me a second to figure out where I knew her from. It was Mei from feed meimei (YouTube channel). I had gotten inspiration for a SF dumpling ride based on one of her videos. Unfortunately, I ran out of time to do the gravel and ride as planned and had to head straight home. Next time. Same old, same old. Sunny and warm as long as there was no wind, which was a bit chilly.
