This morning I did a quick warm up along the coast, and then up into the hills for some last-minute intervals. Really a quick fitness and bike check before I head out on an out-of-town long ride this weekend.
The park on the hill above town is a great way to squeeze in about 1000 feet of climbing and descending in 5 miles. All went well, neither the bike nor the motor failed, and time to sort and load the gear.
It looks like it is going to be a banner weekend with high pressure setting in and the clouds and fog gone for a bit.

Cool and overcast, with another hump day run to the swap meet. I decided to ride the little bike before it starts it transition to a new home, spreading the 650b love.
One More June 28 2011, 0 Comments
One more from this set up, I am really stoked on how these turned out.
Things are starting to warm up, the fog peels back some days and the light is starting early.
Have fun and ride!
This morning presented a couple of hours to squeeze in a ramble around town, I wanted to check out a park that I thought might be a gateway to some fire roads, but that did not pan out. The Fog and mist were pretty thick....
Riding back across town I stopped at the farmer's market to pick up some fruit, then headed over to the flea market. Each week seems to keep getting bigger. THis time there were more vendors with bike junk, and definitely more guys skimming for stuff to flip. I was still able to haul some decent loot.
I was able to squeeze in a quick hour spin up the coast this afternoon before dinner. The sun came out, and I was blessed with blue skies for a bit...
The fog was not far off though, and closed back in before I made it home
Making a bike ride out of trip to the post office is a great way to inject a little adventure into the Friday lunch break. It just so happened, there was a hole in the fog and a little blue sky peaking through. Dropping off an outbound saddle.
After the drop off, and picking up the Pro Compe I was waiting for this week, it was time to hit the park for our first playground trip.
Then off through town to check the surf,
Around the point and back towards home the clouds and fog were closing in,
It is hard to imagine a better way to spend 45 minutes in the middle of the day.
Happy Friday, Happy Father's day and Go Play Outside this weekend!
Myth Busting June 14 2011, 0 Comments
What summer at the beach in california really looks like...
Two hours after the sun was up and not getting much brighter out.
With a pull stronger than the gravity of Jupiter
And the guy on the corner had some brake levers I was looking for, not a bad day. The bike and a thin wallet keep me from hauling more home than I should. There was another Singer there, calling out to me, but it will go home with another.
June gloom is kicking in here in sunny SoCal as well, burns off by lunch time though.
