Another ride to the farmer’s market. I think that almost 30% of my recent riding has been in pursuit of produce. Weather is gloomy again on the coast, but a wonderful 60 deg temp for riding.
By the time I made it 10 miles or so from home the fog was starting to thin out. The bags were filled with fantastic fresh stuff.
Now it is time to make some sauce out of all these veggies, hope you weekend is going well too!
Perfect way to top off an interesting week.
Have fun, play outside, and hopefully enjoy the long weekend!!
The fog has moved out to see and it was a fantastic morning for a cool crisp ride across town to get some groceries.
Our little girl is growing up fast, 15 months now, and we can head out for multi stop errand rides well over an hour and up to 12 miles or so. Snacks, water and breaks in the trip are critical to success, but easy to do and keep the rides fun. One of the bigger challenges has been in re-assessing the routes to minimize busy roads that I would otherwise ride my own bike on. We get to see a bit more of the neighborhoods we hope to call home in the coming year and scope out the cool playgrounds. As with kids in general the only way to understand how fun can be is through doing it.
Posting has been a bit sporadic lately due to some fantastic visits from out-of-town family and some other stuff like birthdays etc. that are, well, um, just higher on the list than posting. Things should be getting a bit closer to normal in the coming weeks as I get back into my morning groove. Today I was lucky to have the time to head up the coast and on a whim, extend the ride.
Everything started as a normal cruise up the coast. Then I pushed a little further to La Conchita to grab a couple fresh coconuts, more on at a later date. That required going a mile or two further to Rincon to make the turn around. As I approached the turn around point I decided to make a right instead of a left.
Heading up and back into the hills a bit to make a few more turns up and around, exploring some routes new to me. Time was starting to close in and I made my way back down to the coast. I hit the non-paved route from Carp back down to Rincon.
The rest was the regular ride back down the coast. It was good to be back on the bike. I know we are supposed to be having a heat wave, but it was incredibly nice out. Fall is just around the corner and closing in quick.
Happy friday, and do not forget to play outside this weekend!
While making my morning tea I noticed that the moon and stars were actually visible for the first time in weeks. Then the black sky slowly gave way to blue.
I think it is going to be a nice day, Have fun and play outside!
