The original saddle was a medium blue, but appreciate the offer. Take care

50.77 miles, 4,388 feet of climbing. originally planned a slightly longer and climbier loop but when i got to the end of the second big climb, i turned it into an out-and-back.

absolutely perfect cycling weather though. light breeze, clear skies, high 50s, plenty of shade if needed.

9 miles

mt. tam/fairfax dam area?

44 Miles I.D.

win-win. either route is awesome. next time out!

meandering, coastal 37-spot. temps reads upper 60's but with a cloudless day and über-low wind, felt more like 71-72 degrees. perfect way to end february.

41 Miles I.D.

The energizer Troul. Keeps on going....

Gotta get back into the swings of things with fair weather peaking around the calendar corner!

42 Miles I.D.

40 Miles O.D.

75km on a cool and somewhat blustery day. Looking forward to the warming trend this week with temperatures turning positively springlike in the low 20s by mid-week.

Was nice to try out my new Garmin Varia radar on a longish ride today - definitely worth the price of purchase, IMO.

I really like the Garmin Varia. It is really helpful in urban areas that are not high traffic where you might get too many alerts, but like side streets. And even bike paths where other bikes are overtaking you. It also told me the railroad train was approaching, not that we share the road.

Well, after watching wallpaper strip and paint dry for a week or so including the prep to empty the room, finally got in my 16 mile loop yesterday in what might be called a small precursor to Spring.

44 miles and 5300 feet of climb in the Whittier Hills.
Cool for SoCal in the 50F's and sunny.

50.5 and 2,900’, flat for a medium length ride here. a bit cool but nearly perfect cycling weather.

About 16 hilly miles. It was sunny, windy and upper 40s F, so really nice riding weather.

Managed a second in a row. 22 miles and 1,200 gain in one of my usual loops, visiting large Discovery Park on bluffs above Puget Sound, down to Smith Cove Park (photo), Myrtle Edwards Park along the waterfront and through Seattle Center. My friend has no patience for photos!

Sunday, 6 March it was a sunny but cool day in the Redmond, WA area. I rode 25.42 miles along the Sammamish River Trail.

38-spot out of town. 68 degrees and a bit breezy but a really nice outing.

Yep, not super useful on busy roads with separated bike lanes (which are relatively common here in Shanghai) but on lighter traffic roads that may not have protected bike lanes, it's super useful. Also picks up motor scooters and other cyclists, so that's useful too. Expensive, but I find it to be worth it.

34km today in beautiful spring sunshine. At 19 degrees, it was warm enough to wear my full summer kit for the first time this year, which was nice since summer kit is more comfortable than winter kit, IMO.
