Re:

Today-Thursday-Hot, about 88 F. and hazy, smoky in the air from all the wildfires around the State. Good to get out, though-getting stronger every ride...

Re:

Today-Friday-Another hot one, in the low 90's F. today. A good training ride to Deer Park and back. Along the way I passed a little Free Library in front of a house-kinda cool...

Today-Saturday-Hot again, about 86 F. and sunny. First ride with the guys this year, we went into the Open Space District for a fun ride. The climb up was mostly a push, as it was really long and extra steep, (note my friend Howard looking really tiny in the bottom of the pic) but once on top it was a breeze. About two thirds of the way up the hill is a cute little Treehouse in the woods-so nice, I would live there in a heartbeat...

My first visit to the Forest of Dean was a1-super. Two days (mornings) of riding, a combination of the blue and red loops at Cannop. For me, the perfect blend of climbing, technical sections and sweaty-bum-time downhill. The trails were in a great condition considering the dry weather (Saturday) then the wet (Sunday). Perfectly rideable and weather made it a different challenge each time. The cafe at the bottom is excellent too. I described it to a mate as like Swinley but on steroids. Next time, I might combine this with Bike Park Wales over a long weekend.

Anyway, a few shots in-between the grins....including a grin

On the Saturday...

On the Sunday...

Re:

Today-Wednesday-A cool 75 F. in Fairfax and much cooler in San Francisco. Today's ride was in my car with Charlie Kelly. We drove South through San Francisco down the peninsula about 50 miles to Tom Ritchey's shop to pick up a new frame that Tom gave to CK. It's a beautiful frame, handmade by Tom for the Handmade Bike Show this year-A P29. It's got seamlesss fillets at the joints. We had a fun ride down and back...

Sounds like a good day, have you got any more pictures of the frame?

I forgot to take close-ups, but I just called CK and asked him to take some and post them up...
