Not where I am, specifically, but areas closer to the ocean probably do.

In the Central Valley too, but it's a little early in the year for that

Oh, yeah. Central Valley fog is ridiculous.

Met a woman at a restaurant in Carmel Valley once who told me that she and her husband has a house in Carmel Valley so they had a place to go in order to escape the fog that they experience at their house in Pebble Beach.

Visibility gets pretty low on our little hill. Like less than 50 feet. Hard to see things, even when they have lights.

Naturally, I just made that **** up.

Also, drivers don't turn on their lights, even in dense fog. I have had many close calls just pulling out of my driveway because of this.

They are saving their lights for when they can’t see at night. It doesn’t matter if they can’t see during the day. :rolleyes:

Ok maybe my skeleton joke was in bad taste. Deleted.

Here's a map of the day that the censor won't go after

Lovely part of the world. I have extended family that lives in the area.

Listening to The War On Drugs-Up all night.

After calling 3 bike stores (the kind that have been around long enough to have old stocks of obsolete parts), it seems one can no longer "just drop by a bike shop and pick up" spacers for 1" headsets. What's the world coming to? So I pulled the trigger and ordered a bag of 10 of the damn things, because I couldn't find anyone selling ONE of them. Well, that's not strictly true. There were sellers in Europe who'd sell you one. For 1/3 the price of the bag of 10, but then shipping would push the total price of that one spacer HIGHER THAN the bag of 10.

Unable to wait to finish putting the Ironman together, I took a hacksaw to the reflector mount. I cut it into a 3/4 circle, because it was a lot easier and I'll be replacing it really soon anyhow.

So now it's all together, all but the bar tape. I figure tomorrow for the shakedown cruise.

Don't want to use up all the fluid.

I thought it was only blinkers that needed fluid.

It is. Can't afford to live there. Can only visit, which we do from time to time.

Yep. My aunt and uncle ran a couple of pretty successful businesses in the Carmel/Carmel Valley area when I was growing up, and did very well for themselves. They relocated to Redding about a decade ago. I have a cousin that still lives in Carmel Valley, but haven't been to visit in far too long.

I lived in the mountains off the southwest corner of the Central Valley. There was a low spot in the ridge and the fog would creep up and freeze on the road. When the road was built they had to get an exemption from the county to allow 15% grades in spots.Nothing quite like going to work on a clear morning and coming upon an ice covered 15% descent, or ascent even.

I would take the mountain bike to the top of the 7500' mountain overlooking the valley There is a spot above huge cliffs which faces the valley and the air would hit those cliffs and go straight up at what must have been at least 35mph. When there was a lot of fog below it would rush up into the air in spectacular fashion. If you stood close to the cliff it was wet and cold and you could back up ten feet and be warmer. I'll never forget that.

Those cliffs are so big you can see them from the I5 freeway miles away.

It was starting to shmizzle when I poked my head out to gauge what to wear for my ride, so I did a fake group ride for the first time since Spring instead of going out. Bad idea. It's going to be a long, unpleasant, winter.

Probably sounded better in your head than "the dog took the rapid deployment room key."

wut

Zwift group ride, probably.

Very probably.

LoP is out there riding in the middle of the night, and you guys are staying in because of "fog."

Well, I have approximately 40 years under my belt in the east, and 20, currently, in the southlands. I could conceivably have 20 more left. My folks both made it to 92. But they both relied heavily on modern science to make it that far (My dad retired as a full Colonel) It is unlikely that I will be in the same boat.
