And serendipitously running into Courtney Currier on White Oak Trail. I was originally going to go to Off The Grid to get a fried chicken sandwich and waffle fries but then Daniel did a dirt ride call for WNR. I was torn. This was like Sophie’s Choice. I thought if it was going to be as windy today as it was Monday, there was no way I was riding to Foster City. I was not expecting it to be so hot and not windy though. The air felt THICC! It was harder than riding at altitude. Zoe was supposed to join but when she went to get her back after work it was gone. Apparently security removed it because it was locked up to a pole next to a fire lane and when she went to retrieve the bike, they were gone. I was glad I remembered to put on the bug repellent. It seemed to help. Plus it was so overgrown at Monte Bello when we first entered on Upper White Oak Trail. Lower White Oak Trail was much better. I was happy to run into Courtney because she was planning on riding Russian Ridge like I was while everyone else was just going straight back down Dirt Alpine. I showed her some fun new trails and improved on the route she was going to do. 😊
