His 70th Birthday Ride

It was a sunny and gorgeous CA Spring day yesterday.  He already loaded our bicycles a day before, so it was easy to hit the road.  

Nowadays we just can't do more than two things on the same day.
And we were getting more nervous and scared to do new things including riding in new places where we've never ridden before.

But we were talking ourselves into it, if we go over there, we can eat the crab sandwiches and have some clam chowder.

So we passed by the entrance of the trail and found the place to eat first.  

  There was a long line in front of the store, and when  we came to very close to the entrance, I looked back and found the line continuing more.  The view of Marina across the street is quite nice,

And there was a dog who is very shy and very expressive entertaining for us so that we didn't get too tired to wait. 

The bread of the sandwich was toasted to perfect crispiness and a lot of crab made us very happy.

OK, let's ride!

We parked on the North side of the trail from CA-1.  And started to ride around the marsh area which was quite dry and covered with lots of colorful flowers of ice plants.

We saw the people who were enjoying wind surfing in the Bodega Harbor.  

 I got a little nervous as usual but smoothly got on the White bridge.  Thank God, nobody was there.

The beautiful nature trail was so enjoyable, 

but we reached busy Doran Beach Road so soon.

When I turned around there was a sign.

We rode the trail back and tried riding around counterclockwise, and found the beautiful spot to take a picture.

This is the photo I took.

We rode just 2.5 miles, but we still could ride in a new place without hurting ourselves; that's the bright side.
