Charlesmas!

Thank god it only comes once a year. In fact, thank god Sea Otter is also once a year. My aged body cannot take such abuse....I didn't even race!



Not totally true. I raced with the road bikes on my mountain bike at the Monteray ally cat race.



Charlie did the real race.




Then he stayed in Bizerkeley. After a heck of a hot tour we rode the BART over to San Fran and rode up Twin peaks with Kelley.

Beginning of the night:


End of the night (they're friends!):


Then Charlie sadly left but not without trying to make the most out of our time. He allowed me precisely 2.5 hours of sleep.

That was one heck of a floating holiday. That was one heck of a Charlesmas. Thank goodness it only comes around once a year.
