Today was amazing! The weather was great and we came together as a whole team in the waning hours of the day, which always ties things together well before we begin the major riding. The morning had us gathering together at the Sports Basement, where Jeff gave us a bike maintenance workshop - and a world class performance to say the least. Hilarious and in good taste, he had us rolling with laughter; I even thought I saw some tears :) There were crackers, cheese, veggies and dip, not to mention a 20% discount for gear in the store and tune-ups for all our riders. While we took hours sifting through 3 floors for cheap equipment, a few bodies went to the Alemany farmers' market to get some goods for the evening extravaganza at Kathy's in the Mission District. I rode in from Laurie's house just as the van and the 2nd crew - Travis, Julie, Danny, Sean, Alexis, Abigail, Becky and Morgan. Even Matty P made a surprise visit. The evening party was ripe with guests from San Francisco: friends of Kathy's, people from the building, friends and past staff members, etc. There was great food (veggie pasta, salads and desserts) and good times. A few drums, guitars and vocal wonders made there way to the back room for a jam session and the night ended with a more contemporary dance session, DJ'ed by none-other-than Miah at the iTunes desk.
