I post tonight from Flagstaff Arizona. The good news is that today was -- relatively speaking-- completely non-eventful!
I awoke this a.m. to a fogged in Riverside, and rode for the first hour of the day in very dense ground fog. This became sun quickly though and all in all it was a pleasant ride. I did feel a bit like a stripper at an Ambivalents Convention--take it off/'/put it on! Going from fog bound coast through desert and up to the 7000 foot range, with classic summer mouuntain thundershowers and hail, I wore every bit of gear I had with me--several times!
Tidbit for today:
Southern California never ceases to amaze me. Did you know, for example that there is a community (Norco --North Coventry perhaps?) where all the streets are equestrian paths, and where all the buildings have hitching posts in front? All well and good, I say; to each his own. But only in Southern Cal would the City Planners have approved --can you see this one coming?--a ride through McDonalds! Yes! I know this from the horse's mouth, as it were, as one of the sales ladies at Riverside HD lives there.
Off to Albuquerque tomorrow!
If I had a nickel for every time my dad compared himself to a stripper. . .
ReplyDeleteHA! You'd have a nickel.
