      Got out today for a bit of a ride, about an hour and a half.
      Today will be last day that will be able to go for ride for about a week.
      So, yah, ya'll will get a break from my goofy roadside pictures. Maybe this will help me break this bad habit.




      Stopped to look in this blueberry field.
      Not ripe yet.


      But the next section of the same field, they look more ripe.

      I didnt see any irrigation equipment. The bushes look a bit differnt too, must be a different variety.

        Her name is Glenda because that's her name.
        And she's in the house because if she were on the porch, either she'd get stolen or she'd succumb to the weather.

              Glenda doesn't talk about her family. To be honest, I think she may have PTSD from some event earlier in her life. Most days she doesn't say anything at all, and she hardly ever even changes her clothes.

                  We have the best sunsets, but it's a bear to capture just how magnificent they are.

                  I'd venture to bet the mountains are visible by looking to the other side of the street. Maybe even volcanoes?? Nice picture!

                    Short rides today

                    Did some short rides today and followed my bicycle routs, just to check their total distance with the odometer.
                    Took some pics of me on my bike, just wanted to see if I looked like a dork in my Hi-Vis gear.
                    I spray painted the front of my helmet after reading more stories about left turn crashes.

                      Lookin great, Bill!
                      I don't care if I "look like a dork in my Hi-Vis gear" (I don't think I do, for that matter). The top four reasons I wear Hi-Vis gear are:
                      1, visibility
                      2, visibility
                      3, visibility
                      4, armor

                      I never want any driver to say about me "I just didn't see him!"

                      I just got a new helmet and was excited how well it matched my jacket:


                      Compare that to my old helmet (and you can view more of the jacket here):

                        kerrfunk, If we had a "Like" button here I would have punched it for your HJC. Probably what inspired me to post my pics.
                        Actually I wish we had a "Like" button, there would be more encouraging feedback from members.

                            I like hi viz and don't care about looking dorky - actually I dont even think it looks bad anyway.
                            My my jacket / pants are black, the jacket being purchased long ago. On trips I wear a hi viz vest over the jacket that I use at work, and it seems that I'm given more leeway in traffic - I still make no assumptions though. I should wear it all of the time, but locally I generally don't.

                                You?re right super flat. But if I look in the other direction there are mountains that climb 4000 plus feet from the valley floor. 5AE4C955-4959-4DF6-8E72-7DD0B4028D9B.jpg
