Today's Ride

Re:

Thanks THM-slow but steady. Today-Saturday-Rode with my friend Howard to the top at Tamarancho. About 86 F. and really breezy around Fairfax, with blue skies-However, in the East Bay it looks smoky and hazy because of wildfire smoke blowing down from the North and East of the Bay Area...

The story is too long to tell here, it ran to 2000 words, but the short version is that I joined Joe Breeze as the only other relic from the 1978 Crested Butte to Aspen ride at the 40th anniversary celebration.

Today-Tuesday-That was an epic weekend for CK and Joe-good pics! Around here it was about 78 F. and sunny. I went on a loop through Ross, up past Phoenix Lake to Shaver grade, up to five corners and back down to Fairfax. A satisfying ride, as I couldn't have contemplated this much of a ride 7 weeks ago when I started riding again... :)

Today-Saturday-Coolish 66 F. and breezy. We rode up to the West to the ridge top, right into a stiff breeze from the ocean-makes for a really fast descent on the return, though... :)

Re:

Today-Monday-A nice 70 F. day out, with a good wind from the West. I had to pay a few bills in San Rafael today, so I rode there and back-about 11 miles roundtrip. It was good going down there, but a fight going into the wind coming home. The cool old truck with the 9' bed got a paint job-It used to be Satin Black with the Punisher on the driver's door- I've got a pic somewhere in my archives, I'll try to find it and post it up-it was on one of my rides a year or two ago... 8)

Found it...
