    Late October is going on...:sneaky:

    It was really foggy this morning, pre-sunrise, up the 605 till about 3 miles before the 210...then the fog disappeared and the day was gorgeous.

    Looks like I'll get wet on my commute soon!

    8 hour Saturday in the rain could be interesting...

    Just looked at my Strava...started at 52, dropped to 46, ended at 90. That was a road ride...not in the mountains!

    I thought that was the cause of the moisture......100% chance of getting wet if you jump in the water!

    Forecast in my area is showing a max of 20% change all week.

    30%/60% for Temecula Saturday/Sunday. I'll keep an eye out, I'll swap out my front tire if it's going to rain.
    Sooner than I thought. Fog was so dense this morning that my skin was soaked and I actually felt way colder than the 50°+ degree weather spoke feel.

    Yeah, my 100 Miles of Nowhere would suck in the rain. Especially since it actually takes us about 10:30

    I'm not complaining about the rain. Quite the contrary. I am excited because I hope to get some of my trails back. Some of my favorites are in horrific condition.

    I stand by my forecast - rain this weekend.

    The latest in this neck of the woods is showers Saturday afternoon into Sunday. Plenty of time to get a Saturday ride in.

    That's a good idea but then there's the anxiety of the rain not stopping in time.

    Anxiety on a bike ride - any bike ride - means you're doing it wrong. ;)

    The anxiety of the rain not stopping. Not the anxiety of the bike ride.
