The ice coating is almost gone from the driveway, but today’s rain has added to the general sogginess. I do have an alternative route. It is mostly paved, but there are still a few miles of gravel roads. If you want to ride, be willing to do some de-mud-ifying and walking. And be willing to ride for an hour or two (or three depending on the final route selection) into a stiff cold wind.
Forecast calls for temps from 38-42 and wind from the north at 19mph. Hahahahaha.
I know some of you sick freaks love this kind of stuff and will be here, and I’ll be right there with you…unless I decide to pour some coffee and check on the fireplace…
I’ll be thinking of you while riding up Mt. Diablo tomorrow. Forecast for 60 degrees and sunny here in Northern California. Don’t hate me, sorry. ;-)
Thanks, buddy, that’s just the kind of encouragement I needed. :)
Miss Pearl is looking nice in her new knobbies and fenders, and she’s planning on getting them dirty tomorrow. She’s a bad girl. (Yes, I name my bikes.)
Can’t wait to see the photos!
Just do it!!!!!!
I’d love to be there, but I can’t justify the travel expense. The rain and temperatures sound fine. The 19mph headwind does not.
Yeah, the distance is bummer. I sure would like to ride with you guys in your world too.
We did ride today, but opted for paved roads. I scouted some non-paved roads early in the morning and made a no-go decision when I saw the mud. Photos soon.
