When the hot weather came it was better to use the car, plus I don't usually ride on Sundays.

Come to the heart of the City where we are and you will see for yourself how discouraging it is to take so much time to go nowhere. Only 3kms to the Oak Street bridge can take 20 minutes in rush hour. Even to get to your old place would take an hour or so. As you know, we have no freeways around here.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05258612401956399482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738356784230164028.post-74451953936972326772014-08-11T11:06:10.168-07:002014-08-11T11:06:10.168-07:00Bob, there are other fun ways of transportation, a...Bob, there are other fun ways of transportation, and even on foot or by cycle life is good. <br /><br />I remember how much it can suck to get out of the city. Even getting out of PoMo was dreadful at times. Well, with the bikes in storage you will have just enough time to make plans for another epic ride in 2015.<br /><br />And I shall very much appreciate if you continue to post pictures from the wet coast.SonjaMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12389245948579828531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738356784230164028.post-30899957833027166362014-08-11T08:48:06.869-07:002014-08-11T08:48:06.869-07:00Karen:

It's just not that enjoyable anymore unless I have a goal. When I am on a trip, I look forward to meeting up with others and that makes the difference. Meeting someone at a location for a meal would work too, but just riding around in traffic doesn't make sense to me<br /><br />I seldom do group rides anymore. I like to stop for photos and most times the group doesn't stop. On my last two group rides, I rode alone and just met at the restaurant.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05258612401956399482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738356784230164028.post-15458721399247973162014-08-11T05:36:33.337-07:002014-08-11T05:36:33.337-07:00Beautiful pictures again Bob.

A bit sad to end the summer biking season so soon, but you have an exciting Corvette adventure awaiting you ... and lots of people to keep you company. (Like Richard, I don't mind riding the same roads, as a matter of fact I have a few places that I just love going to again and again and again. Every time I do, I see something I never noticed before.) You could always take your new cot with you, put it up in the hotel rooms you stay at and pretend you are camping =DVStar Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13634216576989421497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738356784230164028.post-51298779678765664232014-08-11T02:11:56.452-07:002014-08-11T02:11:56.452-07:00Bob it takes a brave man to wear a pink shirt in p...Bob it takes a brave man to wear a pink shirt in public.<br />Shame that you can't ride any more, I didn't see many riding posts this year.

Riding with others seems to be more stressful, maybe because it needs more planning…<br /><br />Nice low-angle sunset photos.
