I have to say it with question marks just in case there is a wee bit of a chance the weather may not be as bad as they predict for the next several days. Today was not the gorgeous day of yesterday, but Vera, or maybe Tina Tern, and I got in quite a nice … Continue reading "LAST RIDE IN FEB?/LAST R&B POST?"

I have not yet officially named my TERN, but am thinking of ”Vera”. That is for one of my favorite British t.v. shows of the same name. But the vote is still out and if I think of something better, I will change it. Anyone have any suggestions? It was a 34 degree day with … Continue reading "NEW BIKE FINDS STUFF"

I found a window and took it. Sun at the start some light rain for only a few minutes, and clouds that opened back up for sun at the end. Once home, torrential rain started. Phew, missed the bad part of the day by getting out early. Blown down limbs & Branches from last night’s … Continue reading "LOTS OF B OUT TODAY"

I realize I came off as being the villain in my last post and you folks rightly called me out on it. I felt so bad about my appearance of evilness that I just had to come back and set the record straight. Allow me to refresh your memory. In the post referred to above, … Continue reading "Mount Impossible: The Rest of the Story"

If Greg can ride in all that snow, I can surely ride in some rain. I waited for mid morning when the rain was ”light” but it was definitely consistent and with a little headwind if at times felt more that ”light”.

It was a short ride in the COLD yesterday. Total cloud cover and 37 degrees was much colder than sunny 40 degrees of the day before. Though I am surely glad that I did ride, it was not near as much fun for me as the sunny ride was. Got some for our challenge at … Continue reading "R & DOUBLE B"

I am so happy that I pushed myself out into the 36 degree day ;’). After swapping my fingerless gloves for warm mittens, donning my multiple top and bottom layers and adding my helmet liner I was ready for the transition from that California weather ;’). It was cold enough that I was not too … Continue reading "R & B TWOFERS"

After nice sun-shiny albeit breezy ride to the Post Office in the morning, when the time came to head to Danville and CEO’s appointment, the clouds rolled in and the wind became ferocious Took the opportunity to go to Kickapoo State Park anyway with the hope that staying in the wooded areas would abate the … Continue reading "B is for Bark and Blocks"

Have not had much riding opportunity these past couple of days, but we are having a great time visiting with our friends. Yesterday they led us from their house in Cayucos to the small town of Morro Bay where Susan and I got in a short but nice ride. Before starting our ride we had … Continue reading "SOME Bs IN MORRO BAY"

I took a longer ride today and though I liked most of it and all of what I saw, there were parts that were not good. That would be the 8-10 miles on 2 roads with high speed traffic and no shoulder/bike lane. The saving grace was the the traffic was a bit on the … Continue reading "I STILL B IN ELK GROVE"

Trying to get in another couple of rides before we move on for more and different adventures. I rode one of the first rides I ever did when first visiting Sarah in Elk Grove. This time I was more familiar and did not get totally confused by the directions on RWGPS!! Can’t fool me now. … Continue reading "GIVE ME A B"

I can answer that with: February 2, 2023 ;’). We took the girls on a Rail Bike adventure. None of us had done this before … Continue reading "B IN AND AROUND ELK GROVE"

With a full family day yesterday, I didn’t have time to post my morning ride. I basically did the same ride as the morning before, but added a few loops. I found Burls on these Bare trees.
