Yesterday was another in an unbelievable stretch on mild winter weather. Sunny and dry, temperature in the high 50’s; more like late April or May instead of the middle of February.

With a storm approaching, Don and I set out for a quick ride on the local trails. The sunny days we’ve had for the past week have given way to a gray, cloudy and damp day, but not bad enough to prevent us from riding. Out from the rancho, past the neighbor’s dogs and into … Read more
