I went to Metcalf by myself and rode the beginner track for a bit and was feeling pretty good so I went and did the easy trail. The steep section after the left turn is even more loose and beat up. I can't believe they call that a beginner trail. I did that trail 3 times and then did Trail 3? a couple times. Then I did it again and turned off on a different trail that is rated beginner with a blue sign or something. Holy Shit! There is a long, long downhill and I suck and do not like going downhill on a motorcycle. Go figure. So I begin going down it and I gain more and more speed and now I am uncomfortably going way to fast and I am thinking it is really going to hurt if/when I crash. It sucked. I got off line and ended up on the left side of the trail and then there was a rut coming up and I ended more left and now I am in the dry grass which is even worse. Keep waiting to crash but I finally and I mean finally get to the end of the downhill and come to a stop and sit for a couple minutes to collect myself. I head off worrying about what uphill I will come to. Some bad stuff (for me) but I make it up okay. Stop back at the truck and rest for about 3 minutes and head out again and ride the beginner track and then do the trail again. I stop at the atv track and i ride that for a few laps. It isn't that great but I see another track so I go over to that ahh the tv just turned off and the last laps of the tour de france are on phew it is back on so i go to the other track which is the tt track i think? and i ride that one and it is pretty fun. i ride that for awhile and go back to the truck for a minute. and then go back to the tt track and ride it some more. I like that track. Then i head back and load up my truck. I leave at about 7 or earlier. I got there at 3 or so. My knees were hurting. Drop off the bike and stuff and start driving home and Melanie calls me and says they are leaving for bowling so I go home and shower and E and I go bowl.
Bowling- Gabe, Melanie, Steve, I-hsin, Jimmy, Jenene and Michelle were there. We took some pictures and bowled two games. It was nice and fun to hang out with those guys. I sucked bad the first game but did much better the next time. I think my first score was 70 or something. Maybe even in the 60's and the second game I was somewhere jst above 100. I had fun. Oh my ball had a chip in the hole where the thumb goes and it kept rubbing on my thumb and it kind of hurt.

Today-probably go over to the motorcycle store and ride over to the San Jose Grand Prix.
Tour de California prologue is in Palo Alto? Stanford maybe? and a stage finishes in San Jose on Wednesday so I will be able to see that.
