It's been raining for days but we're going to have a few days respite. Still chilly, 40s-50s but mostly sunny. Maybe I'll head south as the mountains will be too shady with wet corners. Or..., maybe I will head towards the Sierras. Heading east I have to ride 70 miles on the freeway before getting to a two lane. Same coming back, after a nice ride in the mountains to the closed snow line, I have to ride the same 70 miles of slab back, almost always against the wind and ALWAYS against the setting sun.
