Northern California - Dinner with East Hill 4/3 or 4/4

I thought I was going to go to a private dinner with her and Siu, but I never got contacted on it.

Hope you guys had a good time. :D

That's because you said you would only go if it was near your house. And you don't want to drive out of town for it.

Thanks to EVERYONE who showed up :D .

I had a GREAT time, you were all wonderful!

I'm hoping that some photos get posted here as a follow up...I can't post any of mine until I get back home.

East Hill

Ok, I'll start.

Just about everyone had a digital camera. East Hill also loves digital cameras, and so did everyone else, as evident below:

Just about everyone had a digital camera.I think there were more cameras than people in attendance, somehow! Between the cameras and the food, it was hard to get anyone's attention to take a picture:

But it eventually worked out:

We do love those digital cameras, don't we :roflmao: ?

It's a shame no one got a photo of Taxi777 doing his victory ride :p .

These are great, who's got more?

East Hill

Thanks for setting it up Paula. We had a great time! :D

I had a great time too!!! Glad you could all make it.

Here are my pictures. (Did we mention we LOVE digital cameras?)

Alex and me with our special guest (who I should also mention brought homemade macadamia nut shortbread for everyone)

The famous Richard Sachs bike comes out! Everyone is eyeing it.

And Pete decides to take off with it.

Most of us had a go, even the taller among us. It felt really really smooth.

I then unlocked the Birdy and gave everyone a try. My tires are super reflective! I think everyone agreed it was a very comfortable ride.

Some people also tried out Henry's fixie. Pete had a little trouble adjusting to it after the ride on the Sachs.

Wow, that Birdy really illuminates. Don't have to worry about not being seen in the dark! :)
