First Ride of the New Year

I started the new year with an 11 mile ride with Betzi in tow. The morning started off in the high 30's and sunny. Cold for Southern California.

Ojai Valley Trail

Great Day for a Ride!!!!

Cycling with my son Byron on the Ojai Valley Trail.

Clear and cool autumn day.

Sometimes the mind needs a rest from all that's happening around us.

Taking a break.

Picnic time.

Going Nowhere Fast

I wanted to get back on the road but it's raining. Instead it's just me in the garage with my radio and dog spinning to nowhere. The garage door is open and I'm watching my neighbors watering there lawn with their automatic sprinklers while the rain pours down. Where's my baseball bat?!

Been a Long Time

Haven't been cycling since early October. 

I've been taking advantage of the cooler weather to get caught up on some projects at home.

Time to get back on the road and suck fumes from all the SUV's. Gotta love California ...home of the clueless SUV soccer moms and truck driving investment brokers.

Betzi Likes Her Rides

The spoiled princess is back in her trailer at the top of the hill. I let her walk beside my trike as I grind up hills. Now it's time for a downhill chill on this cool September morning.

"LETS GO!!!!"

"Yes dear."

Betzi gets to ride at least once a week.

I made the mistake of figuring out how much weight I'm towing. Trailer loaded with K9 is a touch over 80 pounds. Now the darn thing seems heavy. Before I didn't really pay much attention. Oh well...it's all fun.
