It's frickin' pouring here in the Valley. Quarter inch so far and a tropical 51 degrees. Yesterday's ride was 83 and sunny, but the warning came when the wind flipped from north to south before I got home.

It hasn't stopped raining since early this morning here in the Peninsula. It's like we went back in time to Winter.

Stupid Stupid, Stupid!
I live in sunny warm easy bay and trusted the SF weather forecast yesterday…. Shorts & short sleeves.
I froze and had to stop at Land’s End park shop to buy an extra cycling jersey.

I won’t do that again, I’ll find a cheaper shop.

🙂

Went out to sit and watch the Northern lights and then found out you needed a camera to see them? Fog rolled in so that negates the whole deal.
