Early morning ride with a little girl who would no longer sleep,
The city is trying to repair and re-invent our beachfront, the new multi use path is a nice bonus, still a bit off at the ends, but better than it was.

Late morning walnut hunting. The time is a little past for the early walnuts, but this tree started a bit slow this year.
I keep track of the edibles I see out on my rides, walnuts are one of my favorites, but will not be ready for another couple of months. Last year I had posted some pictures on flickr from a gathering expedition near the top of Sulphur Mtn., and there was a comment that I should look into making nocino. Having no idea what that was I resorted to google and found this nocino recipe. Now off to the store this afternoon to grab a few more ingredients.
This tree is a little easier access then the one on Sulphur mountain.
This morning I did a quick warm up along the coast, and then up into the hills for some last-minute intervals. Really a quick fitness and bike check before I head out on an out-of-town long ride this weekend.
The park on the hill above town is a great way to squeeze in about 1000 feet of climbing and descending in 5 miles. All went well, neither the bike nor the motor failed, and time to sort and load the gear.
It looks like it is going to be a banner weekend with high pressure setting in and the clouds and fog gone for a bit.
