Sumner on the SoCal coast almost always means fog, at a minimum in the mornings. Some days it pulls back out to sea, some days it tries, but teases you.
Hopefully it pulls out by the afternoon, we could use the sun.
Putting in the Miles
It is not that I haven’t been riding, just not as much as a year ago. With a two-day 100+ mile trip less than a week away I figured it would be a good idea to throw in some distance and hills a few days this week to test the legs.
A fun and fast (by my current standards) 30 mile loop with some Back, country and frontage roads. Considering the wind, a 15mph average is not that bad. I think I saw more cyclists than cars. Fringe benefit was getting out from under the fog bank you can see pressing into the valley in the last picture. All in all, it was a great way to break up the day.
Getting Ready For a Trip
One way, over the mountains and down the coast with friends, one night in a tent, two days of riding. Now to sort out things like camera gear and camping equip., while keeping everything as light as possible.
Daddy Days
Fridays are daddy days around here, and that is a good thing. We broke away from the routine to head out on a bike adventure, ship out some stuff:
Cruise down to the coast
around the point to check the surf
And scored some quality pony time at the fairgrounds
Pretty close to perfect.
Happy Friday, get outside and play this weekend.
Lunchtime Spin
Summer is hitting full force this week in Ventura. The sun is out, semi tropical monsoons with sprinkles of rain, it is feeling a lot more like Hawaii than our usual summer fog. While hard to keep working, it made for a good excuse to head out for quick spin with the wife and our little guy to get some of the wiggles out.
