Saving the best for last? Not today!

Tues/Thurs 7:45am ride


It looked so promising! No hint of moisture on the ground, and, looking up at Skyline from the kitchen window, no fog!

But more about that shortly. We finally had someone besides just myself and Kevin, as Todd came out to keep Kevin company up Kings. I didn’t even try to keep up; halfway through the park and I was off the back.

Skyline was nice and dry, but as soon as we headed west on 84, towards West Old LaHonda, we were back to the wet roads and fog that have plagued nearly every ride so far this spring. Eventually this too shall pass. Right? Please?

Hopefully final rain ride for awhile?

For the first time in like forever, there’s no more rain in the long-range forecast. Which of course was no help to us this morning, as Kevin and I managed to get in a wet ride that ended with blue skies.

As was the case last Thursday, we got about halfway up Kings before having to put on our rain jackets. Not too cold, with the temp only briefly fluttering to 39.8. Wet, messy, and once or twice I caught myself thinking, is it really sensible to trust such skinny tires descending at 30mph in the rain, when some of our customers won’t do more than 25 when it’s dry?
