Titled after the ninth track on Cracker's 1996 album, "The Golden Age", this pedal is Trek #9 of the TGA series. Had intended Wednesday ride to be 12.5 miles out Santa Rosa & Highway 1 from HQ starting point, but got as far as the shooting range before wondering if I'd forgotten to extinguish the incense stick I used for pre-pedal meditation (quick endorsement here for Oprah and Deepak's 21-day Guided Meditations which helps me set my bigger intentions during given day), so decided to shorten up and hopefully keep the thought of fire engines in my driveway at a minimum. Well, it was all fine and status quo at home, but I needed to add that concern to the list of things (that had begun specifically with thermostat and oven) I need to ritualistically deep-focus consider before leaving house; incense holder becomes #5. Anyway, this ride (STP) was the do-over and, getting to San Bernardo Creek Road, allowed for the 25-miler I was initially intending.
