Upper Tampa Bay Trail

Hooraaaaay, another wonderful day in Paradise. Unfortunately several of us caught colds or something last week and there was a lot of sniffling going on. Not good just before the Great EsSkate. Janice brought a friend, Brian from Chicago. Welcome Brian. Danny came even after his crash last week end. The Bigham's are made of tuff stuff. Susan G. renewed her Sponsorship today and brought her friend, Betty D. again. Thanks Susan. Welcome back Betty. We might even convert her from a biker into a blader. We Brunched at Grama Grippo's as planned. Grama Grippo's is a nice little out of the way place not over come with hoards of people. We got right in and they set up a table of 12 for us. Their menu had quite a variety of items to choose from. They passed a critical test as they have Eggs Benedict. We had overall inputs from 8.5 to 9.5. This looks like a great place we will return again to after our next Upper Tampa Bay Trail skate. We heard Jeff W. was hit on his motorcycle by a DUI person's vehicle last Wednesday. Reports indicate Jeff's major injury was a broken wrist but he had lots of other scrapes and bruises. Get well soon Jeff.
