GREAT ride in! 40 degrees. Streets/bike lanes clear (need fenders though). Layered down for the day and loved it.

Slippery, eh? Did a semi full of sleepwear crash or something?

Just got back from a nine mile pleasure ride. Since the roads were clear, I switched back to my road bike from my hybrid. Wow! It has only been a month of riding the hybrid, but my road bike seemed a little uncomfortable. How easy you can lose it. Still, had a great ride. Probaly back to the hybrid and snow tires Monday morning.

Mark--I was wondering the same thing about the difference between upright and road bike frames. I tried riding my road bike awhile ago and it was horribly uncomfortable. I never feel uncomfortable on that bike. I'm not sure I'm looking forward the switching back to it after winter. I may have to install the fenders sooner than I expected.

Last ride of the year. Caught the lull between rain. Happy New year everyone.

I rode between episodes of rain this morning. For a few minutes the sun was even out. I had to dodge a ton of trash in the streets, but it was awesome! I rode hard, right into the wind, and it felt great.

Contemplating a 2 1/2 mile ride to that party I'm going to tonight. Worried about getting soaked. It sure feels great out there right now.
Hmm...cab ride home? But then my bike's not at home.

Anybody know what happened to the LFP just south of Fullerton? Sheets of the asphalt 3 inches thick have broken away in huge chunks and they're laying all over the path/beach. I can't imagine that the waves and wind managed that kind of destruction, but it doesn't look like a sensible maintenance project either.

I think it was the storm 2-3 weeks back. There's places on the path on the south side where debris and rocks have been washed up and moved 20-30 meters in from the lake and on to the path. No damage to the asphalt but it's in quite a bit from the lake. I can see exposed asphalt being damaged like that especially if water gets under or into it and freezes while it's getting hit by waves.
