I took advantage of this to catch up on the internet, and get the website a little more updated. At a little before 2:00 I left and went back to the BART station and took it to another friend&#8217;s place in Dublin. I relaxed there the whole night and didn&#8217;t really do much.<\/p>\n<p>The day after that my friend and his wife were both not feeling good so I went to Buffalo Wild Wings to watch UFC 99 and then went to a place called Any Mountain to see if they had any gear that I would need in the mountains. They didn&#8217;t really, so I just went back to my friend&#8217;s house and watched TV for the rest of the night.<\/p>\n<p>(Editor&#8217;s Note 11\/22\/2024: Steve, thanks so much! I still remember the restaurant we went to in Pleasanton!)<\/p>\n<p>The next day I went to a Peet&#8217;s Coffee and Tea for the first time to check it out. It was pretty good, comparable to Starbucks, and they also have WiFi. I then took the BART back to the Civic Center Station and met my uncle by City Hall and did an amazing tour through it.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_411\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption

often. We had a great dinner and a laid back night.<\/p>\n<p>On my final rest day my uncle drove me to REI so I could buy some gear that I needed. I got a tire, a few tubes, some warm weather gear, and rain pants. Not only that but he insisted on paying for everything. Thanks Uncle Jim! After we got back he took his daughter out rock climbing while I stayed home to work on my bike and my website. When they left I figured the least I could do to pay them back was to get them something, so I hopped on my unloaded bike, went way faster than I am used to, and bought them Princess Bride, which no one had apparently seen in the family. I also put a new tire in the back (my old one was worn very low) and did some website work. I got another great dinner and to watch Princess Bride at night, which is always okay with me (even though I saw the last half just a couple days before \u2013 it is one of my favorites). I did some laundry and went to bed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>10 miles in 1.33 hours The next morning Pete told me that I could hang out in his place as long as I wanted because the door would automatically lock after me when I went.
