Finally.......

Rain, not usually a friend to cyclists, finally showed up for the first time in 2015 this weekend.  But that's ok.....we really need it!  It was the driest January in San Francisco in 150 years of record keeping.  Not just dry, but there was no rain at all.  None at all....0.0".  So this weekend it is welcome!  Missing a day or two of riding ain't no big deal.   And I've been lucky in that I've been able to ride every weekend this year anyway.   Not bad.  Today (Sunday) it only rained in the morning, so I probably could have ridden later in the day.  But I chose not to.....it's nice to take it easy for a change!

So, what's the real news?  None, really....so how about some silly ride names from my strava posts?  Oh and this....I got a GoPro camera for Christmas that I hesitate to mount on my bike...I always thought they were a little geeky.  But who knows...I may try it soon!   But for now, here are some wacky ride names from the past few months.
