Back in the saddle....

 Garneau is pushing the envelope of lighter/thinner fabrics, and I'm just fine with it!


 These are cool posters...now if I could just find the link to order the damn things....

 Another visit to the #powerstation this morning...

 Wet, damp, chilly, windy, muddy, and sunny...this mornings ride had pretty much everything, including getting right hooked by a Prius with all of the requisite Obama/Peace/Coexist/Hug a Tree stickers.  Of course, it had to have been driven by a woman...on her iPhone...turning into the farmer's market @ 701 Whaley.  Guess she was too worried about getting her organic ______________ (insert produce type), than running over a dude on a bike. 

The normally trickling stream was flowing with a touch higher volume.  No, this isn't a black and white picture...

Good solo ride yesterday.  I sort of just looped about until I ended up at Old State, then did an effort at somewhere around 90% for the length of the dirt.  And yes, the fact that I've ridden about 6 times in the month of December became abundantly clear after about 10 minutes of the 15 minute effort.  Yeouch!  I spun over to Gervais, went hard-ish from the river to Harden, and spun home thru the 'hood. 

Another solo ride today, but on the CX bike.  It was 45 and spitting rain when I rolled out of the rack, so the CX bike got the nod.  Did the normal 2 hour CX loop, and brought it back to Service Course.  Definitely felt yesterday's little dig! 

Two good rides after 3 days of dealing with extended family.  I'm almost back to level...

Now to load up and go to Harbison to return some clothes.  So much for being almost back to level....

Peace and Phil Wood grease...

Good to see you back on it. Any day, wet or dry, on a the bike is a good day.
