I havent been planning anything at all. Not in the cards for a while with
work, family and all the sort of business you mention. What I as able to do
during the TxGiving break was arrange for the family to pick me up in
Monterey. I left at 6:30am and biked the 125 miles to Monterey, getting lost
for 2 hours in Santa Cruz and then meeting them at the aquarium by 4pm. They
had a good time, we all had dinner and then drove home. That periodically is
enough and about all I can get lately.

I did do it lightweight, with my Kompressor pack carrying most of my warm
clothes (it was really cold in the morning) and food for the whole ride. All
I bought was water. Im just trying to maintain the level of fitness so that
if an opportunity arises, I can do stuff like that.
