Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Mrs datlas and I are back from a 4 mile walk.

I did not Strava it, so you will have to trust me. I believe our average speed was right around 3MPH.






The second pic is the house we rented for the past 8 days.

Yup. We have the whole house. It’s pretty modest by LA standards, 2BR 1BA. I would estimate it to be around 1700SF. For most of the trip we also had older daughter and her 2 roommates with us, but they went back to Pennsylvania 2 days ago due to WCU Marching Band commitments.

That's why we gave up on trail running. It sounds fun at first...

The family homestead is basically the center of where that thing will hit. Fortunately my aunt has a generator and huge propane tank.

We are at LAX with takeoff t minus 1 hour. Heading towards the storm. My hope is it’s far away enough to not impact our arrival, although tomorrow’s ride looks to be a washout.

I think you’ll be ok. Not supposed to hit here until tomorrow morning. Should definitely be a washout.

When I ran XC in college, we trained on the road and the home course was so dangerous we were only allowed to run it carefully the morning before meets to see the new washouts.

In high school we had the most treacherous (and hilly) course in the state by far. Practice was a sequence of almost-rolled ankles and rapid steps to avoid them as the ground shifted under you. As teenagers we did fine, but no chance I'd do it now.
