I went out on Hains point. It was "closed" but everyone just rode around on the grass to get around the gates. Lots of debris and mud on the road in spots, but all the water had disappeared.

I was hoping to go along old town, on the mount vernon trail, but that's way too messy.

Over 85F and sunny in LA this afternoon, we'll have summer for two days and then go back to spring with high 60s and 70s.

This El Nino stuff really does blow. Today is the first time we even got to 50 since Friday, and it's not supposed to be 60 here until Thursday.

You post one word things like "fixed" to keep this thread alive and you complain about people posting the weather?

It's 57º here now. I just rode past the local ski hill. They have closed, but it still looked skiable.

By the way, speaking of Fred, I got off my bike today 1100 meters into the approx. 1300 meter Cain Road climb because I had blown every friggin gasket and pulled into a driveway to rest before resuming the climb. And I wasn't far from the top, but I was done. In other words I bailed on the climb. I can't ever remember having to do that before. I had a 39 x 25, the gear was too stiff for the prolonged 20%+ grade. The last time I climbed that particular hill with that gearing I was 10 lbs lighter. That's a March wake up call right there.
Happily the rest of the hill intervals went more smoothly. Those didn't have 20% grades. I'm too fat for this sport.

Cain Road, the hill that crushed me today.
