A Very Odd Day

When I opened the door this morning at 8 it was about 52 degrees, overcast with no wind. So I thinking I would be smart I dressed warm for my bike ride. At noon it was 70 degrees and I did not bring any shorts! Then the wind picked up and I thought glad I did not bring any shorts. However as the wind increased so did the temperature by the time I got home at 3 in the afternoon it was 75 degrees. Go figure that we are having hotter weather this fall than we did this past summer. It will be a good night in San Francisco for the World Series if it does not rain.

It was a good day for a ride.

It was overcast with light rain and no wind, which made for a good day on the trail for the following reasons.
1. The light rain washed my cycling cloths and limited the people on the bay trail.
2. The lack of any wind made things so quiet that the only things I heard was the sound of my tires on the wet pavement and the occasional mouse fart. 

Trail Changes and Repairs

The Section of the bay trail between the Green Bridge at Oracle to the Redwood Shores Library is being repaired -- large sections of the trail have been removed (holes a foot to a foot and a half deep) and are not very well marked.  I would advise taking the street.

The section of Bay Trail from the end of Radio Road in Redwood Shores to the Oracle Campus which has been closed for years has reopened.  It is well paved and easy to ride for both road and mountain bikes.  Has a good view of restored marsh.

It has been hot and sunny for the past 6 days...

however I have not done much riding. Visited my parents on Sunday to watch the 49er game.  Sure hope they win soon as it drives my father crazy when they loose. Monday and Tuesday my father was ill and we spent most of both days at Kaiser Hospital. Wednesday I took a short ride because I was still worried about my father.

San Carlos Art and Wine

Today my dear friend Sue and I went to the San Carlos Art and Wine Festival.  The Festival has been going on for 20 years now.  This is the 3 year Sue and I have visited, but we have been going to Bay Area Art and Wine Festivals for over 20 years now.  Here are some photographs of Sue at both the San Carlos Festival and at Union Cemetery in Redwood City. Yes we also like the history of Cemeteries too.

Already October

My connection to the Internet has been out since the 30th of September.  My neighbor Denise moved away.
I do not think the two are related, however I think I will miss Denise more than the Internet.  September was the fourth month in a row where I rode my mountain bike more than 1000 miles, and it was the best month yet as I passed the 1200 mile mark by 17 miles.  This month is starting slowly because I have been getting out of bed late for some reason and have only 85 miles so far.  I will have to push harder on Monday.
