The morning was
dominated by doing a half marathon around Lake Chabot in the
Oakland hills. After that we went to lunch with some of the
Brazen Racing regulars. It was all interesting, but I didn't
take many pictures. Then we rushed down to Jack London Square
for pedalfest. Didn't pull out my camera until I was sitting on
a RockTheBike machine pedaling out power
The act was a woman with a chello
and a sampler box. She would start the recorder and play one
track. Then she would put that on repeat and lay down another
track. After she had four or five tracks working like a backup
band she started singing to us.
All that volunteer labor was
powering all her sounds coming out of a great set of speakers.
Ethereal and light, it sounded good. I was glad to contribute to
the cause. Music for all!
Then later we did a test ride with
East Bay Bike Party. It was a new crowd for me, so I didn't feel
that good about taking pictures. However, we had a regroup by the
dock where all the cranes were unloading this huge cargo ship.
Never been up close with those cranes working. Just had to take a
picture.
