Today wet snow, then sleet and then wet snow again. Tomorrow they promise rain, and after that back to below freezin. Not sure what to think of that... :facepalm:

Re:

What with the HONC entry this morning thought i'd better get out and ride. Got a new camera for Christmas too. Started out with the wind and then it all went a bit...


Rode a section of last year's dry pleasant course to see how it was in less favourable conditions. Hmmmm.


14+ miles 1400ft 41 degF

Spotted a couple of fixer-uppers.

Is that muddy pic taken on the first hill out of the village ?

Nope. Shortly before the end before the last gravel descent into Winchcombe.

Re:

Today-Saturday-We climbed about 1200' up the steepest way to the West, into the Open Space District, then dropped down into the Scout Camp and home-nice day to snooze in the sun at the top, about 66 F. and sunny...

The Golden Gate Bridge (between San Francisco and Marin County) was closed to vehicle traffic this weekend for the installation of a new movable concrete median barrier — to replace the old plastic pylon system. The east sidewalk remained open for bikes and pedestrians. This is apparently the longest closure in the bridge’s 77 year history.

I decided a road bike ride down to check out the unusual situation would be fun and interesting… and it was.

Re:

Very cool pics of the bridge

I took my newly converted to single-speed bike out for it's first attempt at my usual route yesterday.
It had been raining hard all night, and the wind was still really strong...I struggled!
I was glad I was out on my own so I could go at a pace that suited my tired legs.
I just about made it up the big climb out of Corfe, with just my own bloody-mindedness stopping me from walking one bit.
More rides needed!

Is that a 29er? :shock:

Yeah, really great pics of the Golden Gate! One of the most impressive bridges in the world.
Will never forget the feeling I had driving there for the first time...

It is indeed. Why the shock?
