It seems every year we find each other and a means to make each of our birthday’s special. 2020, for most, was a shit year. And while I won’t deny that, I look back to see that for each of our birthdays, we were together, riding bikes, or skiing, soaking up the very best of California. Eric’s birthday kicked off October and the opportunity to spend a few days and several miles biking Yosemite was the move. Due to the fires, it was going to be hit or miss on us even getting access. Thankfully, winds shifted enough to open the park, gifting us some of the most gorgeous skies and colors I’d ever seen there. Stargazing was a bit of a flop due to the haze, but sunrise was something special. A bear roamed our hotel. Like, walked up the stairs to our second floor pathway. That was fun.
Yosemite, my brothers, and bikes; I couldn’t ask for a better getaway.
