Today's Ride

Today's ride is actually a compilation of several days but it has been awhile since I have contributed anything. Still really hot here with temps in the 100s today and yesterday. Nice in the evening though.


I have a tendency to write things in reverse order, so I will leave the above as an example

Today's ride was my first on my latest project. An 84 Dawes Ranger. Arguably the first British production mtb. Reynolds 531ATB tubing. Get a load of the length of it! Not leaning and 22" frame. Wonderful winter rebuild ahead. Location just for you Pat.

Re:

Today-Monday-Really hot here this afternoon- 90F. my personal upper limit for starting a ride, unlike Steven in SOCAL, who has even higher temps most of the Summer and has no choice. :( We rode up into the deepest, coolest spot above Fairfax I know, deep in the Redwoods with a Northern exposure that barely ever sees the Sun and about 20 degrees cooler than down in town. Nice to be there for a cool extended break in Church...

Re:

Today-Saturday-Another Summer day, about 82 F. and sunny in Fairfax, but really hazy on the Bay- you couldn't even see the Bay from Tamarancho today-picture illustrates this. It could be some smoke from Forest fires in NORCAL mixing in, but doesn't smell smoky out.- Nice in the shade at the top, though...
