The ride to my sons school was quiet and uneventful. Dropped him off and headed out for a trip downtown on the Central Valley Greenway. It has improved a lot since I last rode it all the way downtown! I'm not a fan of the uncontrolled crossing on Boundary under Hwy 1, but the rest is nice. Picked up a new axle and some advice about checking the alignment of my dropouts from Mighty Riders on Broadway and headed back out to pick my son up. Nearly got hit by a left turn coming off of the road running parallel to the Greenway. My son was playing on the playground with his class when I got back, so I rolled to the Starbucks, grabbed a latte and rolled back to the school with my coffee in hand. Took the short route home with the TAB and I'm still shocked how differently I'm treated with my son on the back. When I signal a left turn, oncoming traffic stops for me... Overall, a nice 2:30 ride in the sun. Rolled out after the roads had dried and made it back before the showers started again.
