The SVEF Mt. Charlie Challenge Ride is coming up soon, so it's time to ratchet up the training rides a bit. We've got a pretty good turnout today and the weather is cooperating. All this posing is really for the Scotts Valley Banner, but Charlotte manages to get a few good shots standing next to the photographer.

In a totally unrelated event, we're over Val's house for dinner with the family, including George and his crew. Gabe was showing off his inability to wink his right eye, and Monica was doing one of her weird tricks. Pretty entertaining.
