bob & bill's big bike adventure

Truthfully, I didn't know where to post this, since it's both a Brushhead Bob post and a Nomadologistic post. So here it is, on both.

Anyhow, Bob and USB Bill came along for the ride from Berkeley to Livermore for Thanksgiving day yesterday, helping to make sure that human companion burned off enough calories to sustain the feast in the evening. Much of their journey was chronicled in photos, all the way from the hills of Berkeley and Tilden Park, to the backroads of Orinda and Walnut Creek, to the East Bay hills south of Mt. Diablo, to the exhausted victory nap on the driveway of mom and dad's house.

p.s. Yes, Bob's doing OK.

When there's electricity in the air, Bob's out the door. Yesterday's clouds and humidity brought him first to Hayes Valley in San Francisco, where his human companion caught up with a few good friends.

 And then from the valley to the hills above, enjoying the company of the almost sultry air and fat raindrops.

 

It looks like San Francisco...

  

but today feels different...

 

Bob on Skyline

On a hot, muggy day in Berkeley, Bob takes to the hills for some nice views across the bay and up to some amazing high cloudage.




Somehow, though, Bob always manages to find the machines....
