Southern California - I think this "Frazz' comic is appropriate for some BF folks

Very true! I still start most double centuries in the dark, but this time of year I can finish in the daylight, which is fine with me. I still pick up my lights at the light drop (usually at 150 - 175 mi. point), but I'm thankful when I don't have to use them.

So far: Cameno Real Double, Feb, Start and Finish in the dark

Solvang Spring Double Mar. Start in the dark, Finish in the light

Davis Double: May, Start in the dark, Finish in the light (barely)

Eastern Sierra Double, June: Start at dawn, Finish in the light!

Frazz is right!

Is it really the Solstice already?

I love this time of year for riding, too. I get to night time party rides while it's still light out ( no night time travel issues except coming home) and don't need a jacket all night.

And my daytime rides end while it's still light out, no worries about lighting hassles. Most of the time I don't start early enough that it's still dark out ...:D

I'm not really familiar with this strip. Is he supposed to be a grown up Calvin?

To me 'Frazz' is similar to Calvin & Hobbes and Bloom County, seeing as they all play (or played) off of society's mores and traditions, and events of the day. Frazz is a janitor at an elementary school who seems to be very "well read/well educated". The strip is based on his interaction with the kids and other staff members at the school.

IIRC, Frazz made BIG MONEY by writing a song that became a hit. After that he kept his day job.

Wikipedia, of course, has much more, including the comparisons to Calvin & Hobbes:

Hi,

I'm a big Frazz fan. The comic's creator, Jeff Mallett, also races bikes and competes in triathlons.
