Living in CA I don't have the bad weather and dark days as bad as some of you but we have had a bad spell of rain that is causing havoc everywhere. Problem with a desert as Southern California is, the land doesn't know what to do with alot of water.

That said, this morning there are clear skies. With that came a view I don't get very often, the Santa Ana River is filled to capacity and flowing strong and the San Gabriel Mountains are covered with snow. This is the view I have from my office window right now... it's hard not to just sit and stare. For a Californian this scene is rare and very special!!!! I so want to get out and ride right now!!!!
