Today was perfect for a mid day escape to ride with my wife and the dog, childcare does allow for the occasional date.
While we were out-of-town, winter seems to have jumped right past fall. Morning temps have been in the low 40’s and just creeping over 60 in the day. Time to hang up the lightweight AC shirts and pull out the flannel and rugby shirts. Granted, we are spoiled when winter riding still includes shorts.
Making the rounds today was a bit of a shock coming from 15 days of 85% relative humidity and tropical warmth to the single digit RH, 40 mph winds and dust storm we are having today.
Still though, keeping things in perspective, it is better than ice and snow.
Made it out for a bit this morning to run some errands, 24hr grocery stores hooray, and cruise by the beach.
Looks like I am going to be getting some work done today, pretty small surf, and yes the fog is looming just off shore.
On the news front, the niner had up for sale, then not, is up for sale again. You can see it here. I also have plenty of the silver shifter bump caps, here. These and a few other items will be starting to sill up my shop/garage sale pages in the coming week. I have 4 bike projects for friends in the works with more to come, this should help spice up the content around here in the next couple of weeks too.
Happy Monday, be sure to ride this week!
Thank You for taking a look!
I have made it a year now today, and without the encouragement of you all looking regularly it would not be so much fun. I have learned a bunch, met some new people and achieved some of my goals. The foremost, using the tools at my disposal to encourage you to get outside, ride your bike, escape the inertia of using your car to get around and play a bit. It appears to be working on that front. The rest has some room for growth, but that will come.
Back to the photo stuff. I really have enjoyed the GoPro for its ease of use and angle of view. The thing is that I have been feeling a bit lazy with respect to my creativity. The creative outlet fuels the rest of the passion to keep this going. I will be relying less on the GoPro an da bit mor eon my other cameras from here on out. With darkness approaching I decided it was high time to teach myself the art of long exposure night shooting. Not as tricky as I thought for my first stab at it.
The shots take a little more setup and gear hauling. The results are well worth the effort. This was the most fun I have had shooting in a while.
Thank you again for your readership, and as we roll into the fall and winter do not forget, PLAY OUTSIDE!!
Happy Friday.
First order of business was getting the new old Fuji to its new owner for some weekend fun prior to deciding on the final build out. I am pretty sure her stoke is apparent,
after some fast wide loops to get a feel for the handing, she was showing off, hopefully there will be miles of smiles.
Then the munchikin and I made our way around the point to check the surf, just for fun,
Of course, since it is thursday and I am on daddy duty the surf is overhead and pumping, so it goes.
Back to work, exciting things are happening, more on that in a bit.
