How I’d love to take a train from London to Oxford, tip a pint in a local pub and watch football on the telly. This photo gave me hunger pangs for a return trip. Something For Kate on flickr knows how to capture the moment. Nothing but opportunity down the tracks.
Most roadies only like downhill bombing on a pristine road surface. This mountain bike video points out the hazards when equipment fatigues and fails. It’s been on YouTube for awhile, but never gets old.
Put 50 in the log today. Beats the garage.
Neck’s a bit stiff and rotator cuffs are sore, but rolling out on the real pavement today for a spell. As cyclist friends like to say: “Rubber side down.” A dose of fresh ocean air is welcome, despite overcast skies and less-than-spring sunny day. Not so bad. 62 degrees with light winds inland. Down the 56 path I head to re-awaken quads, hamstrings and more. Not ready for anything close to this.
Meanwhile, name and number has been provided to CHP. They are trying to confirm and make contact with a person who all indications point to as a witness. Heartening.
This lovely shot captures Spring in Berlin taken a few days ago. Click to enlarge. I remember my whirlwind tour there in 2001 like it was the proverbial yesterday. The cameras today so great. Tip of hat to castanada ya on flickr.
