Amerivespa 2009 wrap up


AV 2009: who is a lush?

Success! Finally, it is over.

Thursday
I heard the early bird ride to Mt Hamilton was a success, except for 1 incident. The evening meet and greet at Agenda Lounge was chill

Friday
Friday had a lot of little rides. I ended up on the long ride to San Juan Bautista (the mission which was used in the Hitchcock's movie Vertigo). The best part was probably picking up those tasty tri tip sandwiches and enjoying them during the break. The mission itself was underwhelming. Somehow, I ended up separated from the group by myself on 101 headed home afterwards.

The party at the American Legion hall aftewards was alright - the ska band Monkey is pretty cool and quite entertaining.

Saturday
The big day. The concourse had some beautiful, some rare, and some not to pretty entries. Saratoga springs was a really nice, open venue. I loved how there was a lot of shade. The dunk tank was quite fun too. The DJ ... no comment.

I ended up leading a ride down into Cupertino/West San Jose to check out some fireworks. It was pretty fun. People seemed to enjoy it.

Sunday
No words can describe how I could only imagine an aerial view would have been of our nearly 200 scooter caravan down Hwy 9 to Santa Cruz. Remarkably, the ride went very smoothly. We followed traffic signals too! No blocking, no nothing. The gelato waiting for us at the park was lovely (Thanks Gelato Massimo).

Well, since my duties consisted mainly of being the photographer, photos can be found on my flickr site.
