Been busy past few days- time to catch up!Yesterday was busier than most; the morning ride, on an absolutely stunningly fantastic morning at that, followed by trying to get an email out to our shop's mailing list detailing the latest info on our local roads, and following that, taking part in Redwood City's Complete Streets committee, originally a two-year gig that the city council has extended to four. Interspersed with all that there were bike sales to take care of, bikes to repair so they could get back on the road, and dealing with bike industry issues in my role on the NBDA's Board of Directors. So when it seems like I didn't get anything done yesterday, I guess I actually did! Just Kevin (the kid) & Marcus joined me yesterday for the ride up the hill; a bit surprising given how nice it was. Of course, this was our first Daylight Saving Time, so maybe the usual suspects wanted to sleep in? I'll admit I wasn't looking forward to getting up at the equivalent of 5:55am, but it really wasn't all that bad. The motions you go through... after so many years, you're so used to them you could almost do it in your sleep. The warmer weather probably helped my lungs a bit; I was able to do better up Kings than I have in quite a while. Still pretty pathetic compared to the old days (which were just two years ago???), but fastest time for me since October. And yes, this was another outlaw ride, as we continue to monitor conditions on West Old LaHonda. Thankfully I've now got some assistance from BPAC (San Mateo County's Bicycle Pedestrian Advisory Committee) which has placed the issue of cycling access to West Old LaHonda on the agenda for its next meeting on April 20th. Thanks go to Gwen Buckley for taking action on this; of course, I would hope the road will have been repaired long before then! |
