Today's Ride

Re:

Talk about extremes Pat, the wettest winter you'd had for years then this. And who said global warming was fake news ;-) (not you I know!)
 
Re:

It's supposed to be 107-109 F. this afternoon in Fairfax- it's 101 F. now at 12:34 PM-so I'm now waiting for a friend to come pick me up and we are driving out to the beach for the afternoon hours-I'll put up a couple of pics of my non-ride later... :)
 
Re:

Today-Saturday-Much nicer at Stinson Beach, with a little breeze off the water, about 99 F. there. We drove over the mountain the twisty way past Alpine Lake. Once there, swimming in the ocean was really refreshing 8) . There is a lagoon behind the beach with small islands of sand in it. On the way to the beach there was a large lineup os seals basking on one of them-must have been 100+ of them lined up...

Re:

Summers disappeared again and probably won't be seen for another 12 months :(

I managed to get out before it started raining yesterday afternoon around the usual local haunts to give the 'factory' Explosif a spin. She was super agile as ever :D

Re:

Today-Tuesday-After the heat wave-it got up to 110 F. last Saturday-it's a pleasant 82 F. and sunny, with a little breeze. A nice climb up to the West of town about 800' up to stretch the legs after 4 days off the bike...Al, that Kona looks brand new-a nice one to have in your stable...

Re:

Today-Wednesday-The weather cooled right down to 74 F. and partly cloudy today. We rode up to Tamarancho again, and on the way down ran into Wende Cragg, one of the original Mtbers. on her Series 2 Breezer-one of 75 built by Joe, and this one especially for her. She had one of the 10 original Series 1 Breezers, but it was always too big, so she got this one too, BITD. Not too often you see one of these on the trail, as they are worth around 12 thousand dollars these days. Also, the most recent sale of a Series 1 that was sold this year went for 30 thousand dollars... 8)
