CMWC Bike Swap Overnight Trip

Well, this turned out to be a small, but immensely satisfying trip. most of us ended up taking the last ferry from sf to larkspur at 6:45 pm friday - that was limor, andy, me, elizabeth lee and the reverend. from there, we rode to san rafael, stocked up at the saviour of messengers ,trader joes, and rode out to china camp. pretty easy ride, all things considered, no hills of any significance, and a beautiful road once it changed to a two lane after exiting the final outskirts of san rafael, nice swooping full moon ride on a twisty road by the bay. got to china camp around 9 pm, met up with robert from silver bullet, and then waiting for bok choy, who had some of our gear and more food. china camp has some beautiful campsites, and during a full moon its especially nice. definitely something we should consider doing on a yearly basis. next mornings ride to the bike swap started off late, which is no big surprise, considering the state at least I went to sleep in... still I got there in time to get some deals, but I really wouldve liked to have been there for the opening rush... next year, I suppose.

Get up stand up

Someone stole your bike

Get up stand up

You're going to have to hike

 

Yo brudda man just told you

He saw your bike on the pier

So you go there very quickly

Before it can disappear

 

In the distance you see it

You have found the piece of shit

Now you can do what you like

To this scum who stole your bike

 

You smash his skull in with your lock

Bury his cold stiff body under a rock

And you ride off on your bike

having stood up for your rights.

-Eric and Damon
