Tom called this morn­ing to say that he was head­ing down to the Ven­tu­ra area and asked if I’d like to ride down with him so that I could ride my bicy­cle home. What a great offer!! About an hour lat­er; just enough time for me to lube my chain, retape the left side of the han­dle­bars, have some break­fast, and get on my rid­ing duds he arrived in his truck.

We had a nice vis­it dri­ving south on US 101 then east on Hwy 33 6.2 miles to Casitas Springs and Sher­lock­’s. We walked in to find a very inter­est­ing antique lamp store. A few min­utes lat­er Tom came back out­side with me to help unload the bike and me get set to ride off. What a serendip­i­tous day! I was all set to doo­dle around on the com­put­er for most of the day but thanks to Tom I had a very fun adven­ture in the real world, e.g. away from the computer.

As usu­al click­ing on the mon­tage above presents more, clear­er shots of the day.
