It is raining, again (I am in So.Cal.). I am getting cabin fever.
So I cleaned the bikes(again) and took some pictures.

BBC has good coverage of conditions down there! Pretty scary. 9 billion gallons of rain in the next few days?
An hour of threshold ladders on the resistance rollers is a pretty good cure for boredom. I wimped out on an 84 mile ride in steady rain and the low 40s today. Did my apprenticeship in that long ago. So the ladders will be my consolation prize this afternoon.

I just finished Are You My Mother?, a fascinating graphic memoir. Text and graphics by the author, Alison Bechdel. I find I like graphic books more than I expected, having just finished March by John Lewis. Thus I bought Sandman by Neil Gaimon, mostly because he's the husband of an acquaintance whom I much admire. But the Gaimon is a more trad comic kind of thing and I don't see what the big deal is, was, whatever. Eh. I loved the Marvel art when I was a kid but I guess not so much now.
If you want a toothier sort of thing, there's always Piketty's Capital in the Twenty-First Century.

Cabin fever in SoCal, now thats funny. Just talked to my Aunt in Seattle, most rain she can remember in a quite a spell. So far in Feb. I'm in NorCal and appreciate a little change of seasons. If you do decide to ride in rain, gear-up with your riding garb and winter season treads make sense. Of course ride accordingly to the conditions that present themselves. Nice bikes BTW

It melted enough that the roads are clear and I've started riding again!
Well, my current signature just repeats that but it was worth 2X.

No being bored here,I like not having to contend with Dick and Jane Wolfpackmotorist every morning, now if I want to get an adrenaline rush in the morning, I'll just pour an extra cup of my special coffee brew.
