After the visit of the Mystery spot, we're heading back downtown Santa Cruz. We're just going to grab a sandwitch somewhere then have lunch.

Today is also Victor's birthday. Victor was not able to join us for the mystery ride but Maya organized a dinner party at her house in San Jose and almost the whole pack was there.

Maya's house is interesting in many ways. Her garage is full of bikes, her house is full of cats, her backyard is full of ... I'll let you guess...
