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

I KNOW that, I am watching it. what time frame is this? Is it a throwback uniform from the 90's - 2000's? Isn't the current color scheme is it? indians up 1-0 BTW

Lettering like that started in '93 AFAICT. That colour alternate jersey shows up in 1994...

So I thought we'd make it up to Big Bear with plenty of time for a ride. But... got a late start and hit a bunch of traffic, so we didn't arrive until 4:30pm. It's cold up here, temps in the low 40s and forecast to drop into the 20s tonight. Sunset was 6:43pm.

I decided starting a 2hr ride at 4:30pm, given those circumstances, was unwise. So Mr H gave me a lift to the top of the mountain and I rode the ridge trail and descended back into town. A nice hour on the mtb, very little walking this time, just a couple of tricky bits that I wouldn't have minded trying but figured remaining intact might be smarter.

Ten miles I think, a beautiful day. Didn't really have time to stop & take pics. We'll just one...

Glad you got one in.

It was cold and foggy at the Mt Wilson summit midday, and it looked like it was headed east toward you guys.
