Whine and Dine Remembrance Ride for Grete Johnson
In 1975 Grete graduated from Los Gatos High School. Yesterday, just over 31 years later, a group of her friends gathered just down the street from that school for a bicycle ride in her memory. Before the ride all who were there who knew Grete shared memories about what a nice person she was. A friend and fellow cyclist who knew Grete from Toastmasters rode with us. We rode together as one group. We stopped at the top of Kennedy for a group photo. There were so many of us that folks on the side of the road stopped to watch us go by. After the ride we went to Una Mas to see more people there who did not go on the ride. We had a line out the door of the restaurant and out into the parking lot, somebody noted, "this is the largest number of people we had ever had here." There was easily 55 people attending between the ride and the dinner.
My Black and Blue Blog blog was originally created by me when I published the Almaden Cycle Touring Club (ACTC) newsletter the Black and Blue Bottom. It was used to aid in the production that newsletter. Now, it is just used to present views and content related to ACTC. Posts here are solely the opinion of the poster and do not reflect the opinions of the ACTC, anybody's employers or anybody else but the poster at the time the post was made.
