Title: Yesterday's Ride
Post by: erniezap on February 07, 2011, 02:25:44 PM
It was 80 degrees yesterday in the SF Bay Area, so Chris and Anne (the RidnRuby's) put together a ride through Marin and Sonoma counties.  We headed over the Golden Gate Bridge to meet them for breakfast

I was thinking the same thing Neal, how nice it was to see green grass! I can see mine, but it looks more like straw than grass. Nice pictures, except the out house!

Neal,

It's called grass!  You have it as well, but yours is under 2-3 feet of snow and ice!

Didn't bother watching it, too nice to be inside.  Besides, I didn't care about either team.

Enjoyed your great ride pics because we also got to enjoy the weather in person. Carole and I decided on Sat at noon to ride to San Simeon and then back on Sun. Got home at 3:00 in time to see the S.B.  The NorCal area turns beautifully green in our wet winter and then dries up to brown during our dry summer and fall. The green flowering meadows were gorgeous. Sundays weather was 20 degrees above normal, setting many new warm records that day.

To our snowed in friends, lets hope Punxsutawney Phil is correct and kick stands will be up for all by mid March. :cherry:

Looks like you had a nice ride.

Terrie and I took advantage of the warm weather on Sunday and went for a ride also......down to visit the grandkids.  It was about the best weekend in Feb. that I can remember.
