An update...

(Why do I keep titling these posts with ellipses? Talk about overusing a grammatical feature of the English language!).

Anyway, enough of my grammatical choices. It's been a few days since I last posted an update here, so I figured it was overdue. The rest of last week was relatively uneventful. I didn't get to the Farmers' Market last week, but I did manage to get out and ride the Davis Bike Loop. That is great fun as it avoids roads as much as possible (the ones it does use all have bike lanes) and uses the excellent network of bike paths, taking you through a whole bunch of lovely little neighbourhood parks, through green belts, etc. The map below might be a bit flakey because it relies on a third-party site for my bike route, but should show "home" (the blue point), UC Davis CS dept (the yellow point) and the Davis Bike Loop route in blue:

The weekend was spent with the Hobsons in Rocklin again. On Sunday afternoon Colin and I went for a ride around one of the bike trails in their area. Again, a stunning set of purpose-built trails led us through the area around Bayside church along a little creek. I could get seriously used to cycling in the USA under these conditions, compared with the near-death experiences one has along African Street in Grahamstown!
