marie, from the times i've been in the pnw i know it can be beautiful!!!!...golden gardens looks like a great place to ride!!

well, it's not always ideal here......some of that pnw rain came south today on my ride up topanga canyon drive.....in the 50's, 56miles with a wet final descent. when i got back to santa monica i was wet enough so riding through puddles was carefree and fun.

any water from the sky is welcome with the drought we're going through
