Anyway I pigged out on fair food including a funnel cake the size of a Frisbee. A big Frisbee.

No matter while walking down the aisle. I can't walk at 30 kph. Maybe 2 kph with my daughter in tow.

Dunno, man. I can't really get used to the idea of chartreuse. I'm having enough difficulty with the "Saffron" long sleeve jersey I bought. It just seems so...visible.

Tuesday ride went ok. Felt pretty crappy at the end and I think it's the anti-biotics I've been taking since the oral surgery. It's pretty hot again and it's supposed to be over 110 this weekend.

(Yes, I know. Summer officially doesn't end till the Equinox, but here, September and October are our hottest months. It's a different season from Summer)

I hear you. I have a couple of very old hi-vis jerseys, but I never wear them. Just can't.

I do have a dark red jersey, but that's about as far as it goes. Otherwise, I blend in with things pretty well.

Last time I was in SF, it was in the 100s. Fortunately, the hotel was air conditioned, but a bunch of restaurants we went to weren’t.

Yes, it was in September.
