San Jose's my hometown, but I haven't lived there since '01. Last year on Labor Day, my brother and I drove up from SoCal and he dropped me off near Monterey and Bernal with my freshly built bike. Shaking out the bugs day while he worked on a customer's machine. I rode my bike all the way to San Carlos & Bascom, zigzagged all over my old stomping grounds in Campbell, then to my old neighborhood by 85/17, and then back to Monterey Rd where I hit up The Cheeseteak Shop. Man I miss that place. Rode over 60 miles that day, sure had a blast!
I'd love to come down from here near Sacramento and ride in San Jose again!
