Day Six: Palo Alto to San Rafael

Heat Wave!!! We lucked out and missed the wild fires that are currently raging in Southern California, but it is really hot up here in Northern California.

We had a beautiful ride through Palo Alto, over the Dumbarton Bridge, through the hills to San Ramon. McGuire's Harley-Davidson gave us an awesome welcome and wonderful lunch, complete with much needed frozen fruit bars. And they made a donation to Amazon Heart and the Changing Gears ride - Thank you for everything!!

We had a couple Ladies of Harley join us for the ride up to Vallejo. Another beautiful ride. The group is really riding well together and everyone has become a better rider this week.

Vallejo Harley-Davidson also gave us an incredible welcome with a group of 20 or so cheering us on as we pulled into the parking lot. We had more food - a wonderful spread of cheese and crackers and fruit and sweets. Always more shopping of course. And a local newspaper reporter who was very interested in all we were doing. Again, thank you!!!

We finished the day with a warm ride over to San Rafael and our hotel. Most of the group went down to the pool to cool off, have dinner and socialize. A fantastic day!!!

What a great way to raise awareness. KEEP IT UP! I showed up late to the Vallejo stop, and caught the departure (I have photos). How are the "dip-N-dot" collections coming? Praying for safe pleasant riding and an outcome beyond your greatest dreams...

One of your biggest fans.
