I'm leaving Tuesday for San Diego with a car full of bicycles. I live on my boat in San Diego bay and spend the winter riding in the beautiful hills and mountains of San Diego county. Did you know there are 8 miles of nice single track right in the heart of San Diego city. Just a mile from downtown?
San Diego riders are funny - I see them with full cold weather gear when it is 58 degrees and I'm still wearing shorts and a long sleeve jersey. I guess if you grow up there you get used to that wonderful 68 degree winter sunshine and 58 feels cold.
With 40 years of Puget Sound winter bicycling - 58 degree sunshine in January looks and feels like heaven!
