Y'all are missing out on some great winter riding! It feels great to talk about it now, when it's so hot. Last winter, the coldest I rode in was 19F with a foot of snow (studded tires). As long as you have the right clothes, it's just plain fun (and the bike paths are completely YOURS!)
But back to the current heat...it's cooled off here, and is less humid than last week. I rode in 100F last Tuesday, but very slowly (commute from work). The pollution was bad, it was a Code Red day, but I tried not to work out too much, just get home. Things are better now, at least for the time-being.
Cooling in the Bay Area now, it's about time! I'm still not likely to bike to work this week because.....the A's have a major series of home games.
Last night I could hardly wiggle my elbows in the train much less fit a bike. High price of gas + home games = very crowded train.![]()
Must research either safe route past the crowds at least from work to Fruitvale and or get a bike locker.

speaking of cold. i love riding in the snow. well the snow that just barely covers the road and is packed down and you can cruise quite fast. though when you hit a drift its not so good.
superfun last year was one of the lakes really froze over good and bf and i rode our bikes out on it and did the loop around. super fun. though i fell once when i first got out. who knew ice was so slippery. great core workout!

Oh, I wish we had some snow. But not here. I rode this morning at 5 am and it was only 92! Wow, what a relief. I actually felt good and so did my peanut in my belly. It seems like it is going to be cooler this week. I am very tired of spinning indoors!
i remember those sad times of when 92 was 'cool'.Originally Posted by Lenusik
