  1. We went on an incredible 32 mile road bike ride yesterday from north of Fisherman’s Wharf in Monterey CA south along the coast into 17 mile drive and down to our turn around point at the Pebble Beach resort.

    The left photo is from Lover’s Point and the cove in Pacific Grove looking toward the south east to Monterey about 8:30 yesterday morning.

    The right photo is part of our Bike Club at the Lone Cypress on 17 Mile Drive on our way to Pebble Beach and our turnaround point.

    The original intent of the ride yesterday was to do a 40 mile fast paced training ride to the north of Monterey along the rec trail. But the weather was so nice we decided to go south and enjoy the coast at a more relaxing 13+ mph pace.

    Sometimes you have to slow down and smell the roses.

  3. I picked up my ebike today and it's way too much fun. I've been more active today than the last like 2 or 3 weeks combined.

    I’m a Biker (YZF600RK) and I cringe everytime I see a rider not wearing protective gear. Worst offenders are scooter riders who seem to think they are not riding real bikes so it’s ok to ride in office attire with a helmet on… death wish.

    I concur, coming off a bike at speed make short schrift of any exposed skin or skin under anything other than bike riding gear (if it doesn’t maim or kill you first)

    My answer is to ride with awareness. within one’s ability and within a bike’s limits (Tyres and breaks esp). THe other part of answer is for every bike rider (whatever bike is ridden) to do One Professional Riding Course every year. This has three benefits. 1) It lets you ride the devil out in relative track safety 2) teaches you life-saving skill and gets you familiar with your regular mount, and 3) when you finish and joion traffic once again it highlights how dangerous it is to ride with tin tops and trucks sharing the road. So you ride defensively (for a while anyway).

  6. #Biking Santa Cruz CA

    We did this 20 mile bike ride this weekend from #Capitola to the Seymour Marine lab north of #SantaCruz. My wife and I crossed over a 1000 bike miles each in 2024 this weekend. This is one of the nicer bike routes in the Santa Cruz area, IMHO. Starting at the Jade Street Park in Capitola, it is slightly inland for the first half then along the coast for the back half return to Capitola.

    With all of the chaos surrounding us, it is a nice way to clear the head and get active outside in the fresh air.

  8. With yesterday's #BikeRide, I got very close to 1000 miles (1595 km) for the season so far, with, ostensibly, 15,645 meters of climbing (9.7 miles), easily doubling last year's sad numbers, and besting 2021's (more of a normal year). Strongest year (so far!) since 2017.

    Still, every time I get ready to go, my brain thinks of other things I should be doing. Why does it hate me so?
