Palo Alto event Saturday 2/16

Update: I'm changing this from an announcement to a short recap.

Unwheldy was part of the pre-prologue-of-Amgen Tour of California events in Palo Alto on 2/16. I brought it to Mitchell Park a bit before 9:30, let lots of people ride around. Sometime after 10, everyone left... leaving us and the buscycle behind. We decided to stick with the buscycle, with only a few people rotating around, and got to downtown a bit before noon, after many of the morning riders had gone home. But none the less, lots more people got to ride around the parking lot for an hour or so, then we (Rich Willits, his son, and me) rode back to Mitchell Park where a bunch more people got to ride.

I'm sure hundreds of pictures were taken today, but none by me. If you have some, leave a note in the comments!
