Windy Today

Had a really nice ride today even if it was very windy.  Averaged only 10 miles an hour into the wind but on the way home with a strong tail wind I averaged 22.5 miles per hour.

A Strange Day

Today there were a great number of things happening in the San Francisco Bay Area. Redwood City had its annual pet parade, it was Hometown Days in San Carlos and the Makers Fair in San Mateo.  So streets and trails I normally ride on where either closed or so full of people the I had do walk instead of ride.

San Mateo County Bay Trail Repairs.

1. The sea-wall is being replaced between Mariners Island Blvd. and Seal Point Park. Watch for detours at end of bridge.
2. Phase 2 of Foster City Ped-Way Repaving is scheduled to start May 16th they are currently removing dead trees and cutting back vegetation (watch for work crews and trucks on trail) between Foster City Blvd. and the Oracle Campus.
3. Trail upgrades between Whipple Road and Woodside Road in Redwood City, I would advise not taking this section of the trail as heavy equipment is everywhere.

A short update

Wednesday and Thursday where both very nice days for a mountain bike ride, very light wind and temp. in the 80 degree range.  I did not ride yesterday because Dads heart rate was up and he wanted me to stay close just in case he needed a ride to the emergency room.  Today it was very windy, but went riding anyway, I only managed 38 miles in the time I can normally travel 50 miles do to the 25 mile-an-hour head winds I encountered.
I sure hope the weather is both less windy and warmer on Monday.

Happy Mother's Day to all you Mothers out there.

The fire at the asphalt plant in Redwood City

Could Spring finally be here?

It was very nice yesterday and even better today. Temperature was in the mid to high 70s both days. Yesterday there was a big fire at the asphalt plant at the end of Sea Port Drive in Redwood City.  Wanted to take a look at  it today but road was closed to everyone except those that worked in the area.  So instead I took my regular ride to the San Francisco Airport and Back.
