Taking a backpack with a picnic lunch and a camera into the snowy woods when the sun is out is awesome.

There's a thing lost in the blather about "no such thing as too cold, just underdressed" - some of us like the feeling of warm air and sun on our skin, and find most clothing quite uncomfortable. It's one of the things that goes hand in hand with certain mental issues.

Living here, where it almost never goes below freezing, and goes above 95 infrequently, only for a few days, and cools off to about 60 overnight has completely ruined me for anything else.

The key is already owning property. 
Funny thing is, I've lived here nearly 40 years, and the WHOLE TIME property values have been insane. Most of that time, people say, "It can't keep going up!", but it does. Other people say, "Housing prices are driving people away!", but never enough for prices to fall. And I keep hearing - from people who don't live in California - that everybody is leaving California.
"Nobody goes there anymore. It's too crowded."

Just curious in light of your offer to ride the Veloway with me.

I do NOT do well in the heat, and direct sun is definitely a problem. For the first time the softball season is extending into October this year whereas it usually ends about now. I'm loving it.

Yeah. I believe in having the right kind of clothing, but sometimes the right kind of clothing can still feel restricting. The first ride of the year with regular bibs and a short sleeve jersey is always a treat.

I understand that we are all different and our tolerance for extremes of weather will vary.

Looking at the weather radar it's about to do some SERIOUS raining for the next 5 hours or so.
