California can certainly be beautiful after a bit of rain.

That first shot should be in a bike mag, you know what I mean? Could use a little more shoulder . . . but it just makes you want to ride somehow, doesn't it?

Seriously though, that is beautiful country and I do envy you.
Happy pedaling

heat escapes (the clouds gives an insulating layer), and we’re sub. 32.
Cold air holds poorly to moisture, and dry air is bad for your inspirational system.
We have to wait until late march before we can hope for any heat from the sun.
So. Rain isn’t that bad after all. At least not if you are far north.

Sore...Great pictures..I went riding in Northern San Diego today also...Looks like you may have had slightly less cloud cover than we did...Thanks for pics...Personal preference...I always thought man's greatest invention, the bike , enhances the natural landscape...We are all just voyerus when it comes to looking at others bikes...
Curious, what kind of climbing do you suspect you did today.?Great ride, I am sure..Sun sure enhances any ride.

Be thankful for where you rode today. You could have been stuck riding with me instead.
(Warning DEPRESSING Pictures)
Well not really, until I saw yours.

Dam. I used to ride those roads when I worked in the valley. Now I get london, cambridge and cardiff where the hills just arn't like that.
Now if you put in some picture of Mount Tam with the mimosa in flower, I will just completely breakdown in tears.

HILLS, glorious HILLs, except for speed bumps, the bridges over the intracoastal waterway, about 60' max,are the tallest we have in So Florida.The compensation is that this winter, well thats a relative term here,has been a continuous bike ride. This morning lite breeze, about 55degrees partly cloudy and I'm off shortly to ride along the beach and ocean to Boca and back
Dam, would like to live out there
