Re:

Today-Thursday-The Bay Area air conditioner-AKA fog-kicked in and dropped out temps down into the mid 60's F.-nice, it makes climbing easier. Today a climb to the West of town about 900' up. Gary Fisher stopped by on his road bike this morning-a Trek Emonde. It has electric shifters and is incredibly light, just 13.5 lb. !

Paid my respects.



Up again and over.


35ish mph on nice gravel descent then pop! valve torn out under braking. Tube already had two patches so had some use. Called the recovery truck as no spare tube. Usually carry one. Pleasant wait on the farmer's memorial bench. Respects paid again.
