There's Woods Island Club: https://goo.gl/maps/q4mrRZR4YfhsHMga7
and there's Mersea Restaurant Bar and Venue: https://goo.gl/maps/PFrbypGC7mPnadzn7
I guess you go to King Station then start peddling?

Biked the Bay Bridge recently to Treasure Island, I noticed the ferry is now up and running. Time for a mid-Bay meetup?
@EBGuy this sounds interesting to me.
Is there a bar or other place to meet near the terminal on Treasure Island?

@EBGuy Is a building on Treasure Island from the same blueprint as the Berlin airport?
It's a bit of a mess due to all the construction right now. I believe the Island Market and Deli may be the only game in town...

I think you actually could kayak to Treasure Island. It's not that far.

The Treasure Island building was set dressed as the Berlin Airport for Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

how strong is your golf game?
I don't get the vibe members here are hugely into sports (which is fine). But what sports does everyone enjoy in their free time?
My tops that I play are:
Volleyball
Golf

A roller coaster. Forgot about this thread. I can shoot high 70's/low 80's on a great day. My best round is a 68 in younger years. But I'm usually in the 90's.
I'm what you'd consider a reckless golfer off the tee. I have a club head speed of 140mph. So if I bomb it straight I've done 400 yards many times and a pitching wedge to the green on a par 5. Or I'm in the shit with no control and penalty strokes. Anyone that golf with me is laughing on my first practice swing and tee shot.
I barely missed a hole in one on a par 4 in Keystone, CO. I almost hit the people on the green. Hit in front of the pin and rolled off the back. I legit quit previous holes I was playing so bad so didn't expect it. Altitude and alcohol with buddies at 9k feet as well.
Once broke my driver in AZ (the head) and didn't realize and bombed a 360 yard drive with it. I have a lot of great golf stories.
Since this thread I've calmed down a lot. Ping pong and golf are my sports of choice at this point. I'm still young(ish) physically, but 90% sure my MCL is torn from playing ping pong right now. Not joking. I'll still snowboard and pick easy runs. I think my double black diamond days are behind me though. Maybe a good blue or black on a good powder day. Surprisingly Wisconsin and Michigan have some nice hills. I like Bridger and Big Sky in MT though. Only get out there once a year.

Funny, just realized that I've completely stopped watching sports basically. I'll only catch the final round of golf on TV 4-5 times a year. I'm done with the major sports, and that's even when my local teams are doing well. Baseball would be in the mix if the White Sox could stay healthy and use that talent.
Sorry, just trying to get a thread going that isn't all politics, covid, Ukraine, Indian, or crypto.
