Kestrel. Stopped almost right under him and he didn't fly away!

A break in the California storms.

Deleting pictures and came across this New Years day ride shot. Between the storms from Emeryville looking towards downtown Oakland.

Not my shot but found this in my FB feed as I like old photos. I really like her casual demeanor as she rides bare footed up to the phone booth and settles in comfortably for a long conversation after putting her quarter in the phone.

Dry most of the year and a trickle in a typical rainy season, Tres Pinos Creek is impressive.

There is a bike path across the top of this dam, about 2 miles long. It connects two very different areas and has access to a network of trails and dirt roads, some of which are now under water.

Not sure why but I find shots of fence lines interesting. It’s about as green as you’ll ever see right now. The upside of all that rain.

you guys in CA have a lot of green!

A bit chilly riding to work. 19F without the wind chill

It hasn't been this green here in years. I checked on some trails on Sunday.

Getting used to seeing E-Bikes in the bike lane..

But I wish they were parked better. Fortunately, traffic was light.

Mowers!

Rode my bike to South Mountain Sunday.

Threw my chain right down there.

The chain was missing a link or two. Of course no chain tool. Walked back a mile to the San Juan Parking Lot. From there it was downhill to Scorpion Gulch. Coasting without pedaling was slower than I thought it would be. Faster than walking.

Called my brother and arranged for him to pick me up there. While waiting I played with the Cactus Wrens.

Interesting plaque that is behind the Paicines general store. I suspect not too many people have seen it.

I spent a few days last week at Pinnacles National Park in Ogsarg's part of the world. Some hiking, some riding.

The outhouse atop North Chalone Peak has a world class view.

A Beautiful loop on Old Hernandez Road required fording a stream where the road is washed out and slogging through mud where mudslides have covered part of the road.

Not actually part of the trail, a shortcut
http://i.imgur.com/iHe9RAKl.jpg

Seems like this used to be wider. There is about 1" clearance on each side of my handlebars.
