Got out 9 this morning cleaned up the Silver Bullet, and got on the road for spin down the coast to Ventura for lunch with the family. On the way back was thinking how spoiled I am to be able to live in an area where I can almost do this all year. Sun was out, ocean was beautiful, in the low 70s, nice drive there and back. In October we will be doing a run up the coast to Monterey. Can't wait to run with a few of my local club members.

You are a blessed man. I would love to take my top off but it is 100 degrees here during the summer. I am so looking forward to fall.

This is one of the things I miss the most about living in Cali. Texas has only a few rare instances where you can enjoy these types of temps. Most of the time the top is on because it's either too hot or too cold.
