September Starts Tomorrow - where has the year gone?

I remember when I was in school many many years ago time seemed to pass more slowly.  The summer was much longer and from the start of school to Christmas seemed to be forever.  The older I get the faster time passes, it does not seem fair.
Here are a few pictures from a trail I found yesterday.  It is over a bridge from the bay trail in Burlingame, to bad it leads to a dead end.

End of August

Well it is almost labor day and we have only had 5 days this summer where the temperature has been over 85 degrees.  Sure hope that September will be warmer than August.  I have ridden over 1000 miles again this month.

Two Really Hot Days then Cool Again

Both Tuesday and Wednesday where between 95 and 100 degrees, today was at least 20 degrees colder with lots of morning fog. Tomorrow is forecast to be even colder.  I guess it was a two day summer.  When I went out for a ride today I felt like a Sunday morning, because there was very little traffic on the roads and I had mostly green lights at every major road crossing.  On the entire trip I counted only 4 passenger trains. Normally during commute time I would see maybe 8 to 10.  A strange Thursday ride.

Wow it was really HOT today

There was no breeze at all, it was at least 95 degrees all along the bay trail. I lost at least 2 pounds, that has not happened on a ride for at least a year. I did meet a really nice person who was trying to find a way from home to work along the bay trail.  I was able to show her a few ways to get to work.  I hope I see her again as she was fun to ride and talk with.

A Real Summer Day

Summer is almost over and kids are starting back to school, and we had the first real summer day of the year.  There was no fog and only a very light breeze and by afternoon the temperature was in the 80s at the edge of the bay.  So I started out at 8:15 AM and rode all the way from Redwood City to the San Francisco Airport Main Terminal Building and back a round trip of just over 54 miles.
