Saw this on my way home.

Nice!

Weekends and riders

I actually rode over to my local coffee shop last Sunday and arrived early enough to discover they have a small car/bike gathering in the parking lot every Sunday morning from 7-10. I parked my bike and walked around a bit checking everything out. Met some really nice people; I'll have to change up my routine of walking to the coffee shop and ride over on Sunday mornings.

I was also informed there is a Cars & Coffee gathering Saturday mornings somewhere up by the Spectrum. That one is earlier, 5-9 or so. I was told getting there around 7 was fine. I'll have to check it out and I'll fill you all in later (all 1 of my readers)!

Edit: Quick google got me this page. Check it out! http://irvine.carsandcoffee.info/

Some much needed saddle time

I've not been out riding as much as I would like. Stupid rain. I've also decide to start walking more in my neighborhood, so my daily weekend trip to the local coffee shop have now been walked to instead of ridden to.

So I had to get out and about! And this week was perfect for riding into work. I am sooooo glad my new job is casual, it makes it that much easier to ride in without worrying about getting nice work clothes dirty or wrinkled. Did that for 4 years and don't want to go back.

It was BEAUTIFUL! Little chilly in the morning, but no problem just wear thicker gloves and throw on the chaps. Such an invigorating way to start the day. Lunch was perfect weather for throwing on the jacket and heading out, and evening was still warm enough I didn't need the chaps. I've also held off on riding into work because I prefer to not ride after dark, but as of the new year, my work hours changed from 5:30 to getting off at 5:00! Daylight to ride by!

Just what I needed to banish some of the winter gloom away.
