Easter at the Races

   Wed, April 11, 2007 - 8:24 AM
Business Buddha and I took a very spontaneous trip to San Francisco last week. Neither of us had been before (I know, I know). We did a lot of the obligatory touristy things. All week long we kept saying we were going to see Lombard St. But we didn't end up going until the last day... Easter Sunday. Little did we know that every Easter for the last 7 years, there is an event on Lombard St. called "Bring your own Big Wheel". Hundreds of adults bring all manner of kiddie bikes and trikes and race down Lombard St.

We walked up just in time to get choice spots for the races (4 total). It was one of the highlights of a great trip. Here's my view of the 2nd race. Watch out for the kilt flasher at 2:09. Definitely a lot of burners in this event. Enjoy!

I love SF. Glad you had fun! I keep meaning to do the toursty thing with D and the girls, but we are always rushing off to go somewhere else. Did you get to Muir Woods?

Cool!
Congrats on your fun trip! I can't wait to go there again. I went once in the late 70's (and once when I was Vicky's age ~ I STILL have the memories!!) Wonderful place.

The U-Tube link took me straight to a login page. Can you send the name of the video so I can search for it???

Ooh, San Francisco, what fun! It's one of my favorite cities.

I saw that Big Wheel event on the news, that must have been a hoot! Sadly, I also got the log-in page when I tried to view it.

I'm glad you had a great time!
