Keeping with the Field Trip theme, *COFFEE OUTSIDE BAY AREA* is gathering

look at the appropriate map and hope to see you there! More info

For those coming from north of the bridge (Emeryville, Berkeley, Albany El
Cerrito), this is a fairly straight shot: either by taking Adeline all the
way down until you go into the old army base, or taking the Bay Trail onto
the bridge path, then taking the southbound path before heading onto

Cecily, I appreciate your advice. Right now, I am saving my knee and not
riding much. I think I'll continue with the injections every six months and
plan on surgery (maybe) next winter. I HAVE to ride (for mental wellness
-chronic severe PTSD) so I am in the same situation as you were. I miss
I sincerely hope both of you recover and get back on your bikesbut it
is hard to be patient, I'm sure. Neither of you sound a bit like you are
giving up though and that's good
Best of healing

The thing that really made me realize it was time was not being able to
ride my bike anymore. It was the last thing I had left (after being
diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis), and it was a huge part of my mental
wellness, as well as the only physical activity I could do with only a
minimum
Cecily,
My last easy bikepacking trip with my son has made me a whiny, whimpering
limper. I have talked to a couple of folks here in town that have had
knee replacements that have said, "You'll know when it is time". I will?
I have had eleven or twelve surgeries on various injuries and am
I'm getting antsy. I want to ride NOW NOW NOW, but I know I need to let my
muscles get stronger. How are you fairing, Clayton?

Still not back on Betty. Surgery was pushed back two months. I'm five and a
half weeks out now, and I rode the stationary bike at the gym for the first
time last week. It may be a few more months yet before I'm back on the
road.

Dear Cecily,
It'll happen! Very proud of you, physical therapy isn't easy. I look
forward to seeing images of you out and about again.

Aeropress recommends using one full scoop of coffee and filling about
halfway for brewing. They claim that filling the press with water
overextracts. Simply dilute to taste after brewing the recommended way. Try
both and see if one tastes better to you.

I have a Trangia mini cookset that I use for coffee, helpful for making
food outside as well. I've been using a colador in an immersion method,
same thing as French Press, then pulling the strainer out. Cleanup is not
as easy as an Aeropress, but few things are.
I'll be the voice of dissent on
Aeropress users: I have an aeropress, but when I use it according to
the directions, the coffee is way strong, much stronger than the
coffee I made with my Melitta filter. Is that just the way the coffee
is supposed to be, or should I use half the ground coffee they say?

Krups moka brew. Works well, more compact than most self contained counter top

Ann - one heaping scoop is fine. Fill water close to top and stir for 10
seconds. Let your arm weight do the plunging - no need to push hard. Add water
after to taste. Aeropress is an espresso maker, so it makes a strong cup if
