Tour de San Francisco

Posted on 07:35 by Unknown
“No matter where you run you just end up running into yourself!”
-Breakfast at Tiffany’s,
1961 motion-picture

Twenty-five years ago today:

July 13, 1986
Sunday


Mark arrived at my house by 6:45. Our destination was San Francisco ‘in his car’ with our respective bikes riding along with us. We were all hyped-up for the Tour de San Francisco adventure.


It was fun. It was breezy. It began at 7:30AM and ended around 9:30AM (for me). I was surprised Mark passed me up but it was only at the beginning of the race. I passed him up later. It’s never good to use up your stamina in the beginning. It was a great ride. We will do it again next year.


I was pissed-off because I wasn’t in the Tour de San Francisco Prize Drawing. I had never received my ballot to register. I didn’t even get a T-shirt to commemorate the day.


There were quite a few QBL’s there at the finish line. It was obvious to me. I’m not sure if Mark took notice at all. By noon I was home. Mark drove home to San Lorenzo. The thirty mile ride burnt me out. I took a nap as I taped WHITE NIGHTS (some movie with ballet dancer, Mikael Barishnikov).


When I woke up I went to mom and dad’s house for a short while. I took another nap.


Greg Manchevitz, Mike Miller and Birda called me to find out how the Tour De San Francisco turned out.
I told them all, “Oh, you missed out!”


Johnny Schaefer called me. I explained the fun of the bike adventure.


Sue Croce called me. Tomorrow is her big day on her new job.


It was a lazy Sunday night and I watched “KILLER IN THE MIRROR”, a movie starring Ann Jillian. It was a suspenseful one. There's a rich woman who drowns. Then an antiques dealer assumes the identity and guilt of her scheming twin sister. It was time to go to bed…a JO session and sleep.
