Thanks to John for organizing and John for fixing my flat! Sorry to hold you all up. I'm taking a class this week so next time I can fix it myself :P

Good times!

Annie and I and others managed to connect with Rat Patrol's big swim party off promontory point on the return.  All hail technology.

The State Line plaque has been removed from the marker, so no stop there this year.  We will ride past the Velodrome on the way back, and stop at either Rainbow or 57th St. beach.
