We started in the low 20's and ended in the low 40's. Holy cow, what an improvement over the previous years, what with 70 mile gusts last year, and single digits the year before. It was a great ride.

I opted to do the coastal ride today. Beautiful day and a fun ride. I stole a couple pictures from one of the ladies.

First real miles of 2021 for me, too. Only 33 of them, but once again, REAL Miles >>> Virtual Miles. I was initially surprised by the number of cyclists there were on the road today, what with it being in the 50s, and this being NorCal and all. And it didn't look like many were novices. There was that couple in matching salmon colored jerseys who appeared to be wearing new kit and riding new bikes. Maybe Santa was good to them. Ended up being a Zone 1-2 ride, which I didn't mind.

The Panda looks skeptical of the burger. Then again, they subsist on bamboo, which their carnivore guts can barely process nutrition out of, so what do they know? I mean, have you eaten at Panda Express?

Also, it appears to be holding the burger just by the upper bun, which makes one wonder how it's all holding together.

There is a Church's near here. I thought it was too greasy. The best fried chicken used to be at Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles in Hollywood. Outstanding! They had smothered mashed potatoes and collard greens and excellent corn bread. I heard it went downhill after it got crazy busy.

The snow was probably about 4-5" deep and it was a good thing that it was relatively fluffy - I had just enough contact to the ice underneath. It almost slipped out from under me a few times, mostly when I hit tracks from fat bikes, but I didn't have to put down a foot (other than for a photo op).

This woman kept answering her phone while riding. That's me just ahead of her.
