The ride started in Simi . 

 Craig showed up with a friend Tom ... on a real pretty bike  ... can't remember the model ... but it was real nice colors ... you'll see it later.

At first I didn't recognize him .. but once we started talking I remembered him.

We jumped on the 118 .. looped around to Santa Rosa and went out the back way.

 This time we jumped on the fwy for a couple of exits, which dropped us right where we wanted to be.  Should've used this before ..... oh well .. live and learn.
