Q2. Ballpark, what percentage of ebikes did you see?

more then last year. mostly cheap hub drives.
I doubt it was more then 1%
two tandems that I saw. but there were so many people why knows.

Took a trip up to Santa Rosa CA to visit friends and play the horsies at the Sonoma County Fair and stopped in Pedaluma for lunch at Tortilla Real on the way. What a charming little city!

Pedaluma

Petaluma?

I dropped by to hook up with a buddy of mine before we hit the trails and arrived in time to check out his latest toy. Apparently, it’s fast and Vettes have a hard time keeping up with him at the track. Just judging by first glance, I don’t have any reason not to believe him.

Important discovery on today's coast ride: SoCal beaches are even better than I imagined from Baywatch.

We don't just have beautiful blonde lifeguards.

Some towers have cheerleaders, too.

Yoikes, are things as out of control as some of the reporting makes out?

You're lucky. You should see what it cost here in SoCal!

Coming soon to a ski hill near you. Shuttling your ride up the hill just got easier. First to debut in North America, the Easy Loop uses the same technique as a ski tow bar but for your mtb.

Yuppie fire hydrant.

Here’s an intriguing looking stone that we spotted in front of a farm property yesterday which leaves much to one’s imagination and/or interpretation…big toe with a bunion? Phallic symbol of fertility perhaps or just a big ole ugly rock.

From today’s ride - A sustainable way of repurposing an old grain bin into a gazebo like structure. I’ve actually heard of people turning larger silos into tiny homes.

My guess is a big old ugly rock immediately recognized by the owner as something they could use to mess with passersby.

If the repurposed silo were next to the road, it'd make a great lemonade stand. Could be a money-maker with all the heat you've had.

What's that roof-like wooden structure next it? Some kind of cool-storage cellar?

its hard to see this is a cemetery the angle is wrong. but the fire hazard warning brings up BBQ jokes.

My thought exactly or perhaps a trailered full-blown concession stand. Some enterprising kiddo(s) could probably make a mint selling flavored ades and dogs by the roadside. I'm sure that the local officials would be up in arms once they caught wind of it.

Not 100% certain but I think that’s a chicken coop as I did see a hen from the same property trying to cross the road one day.

We started out this morning’s ride under light showers which prompted us to break out the rain gear. The dark, overcast skies appeared menacing but we were confident that we would be able to finish our ride in time.

Much to our surprise, blue skies appeared in the north 45 minutes later however once the sun appeared it soon became evident that my better half felt an immediate need to remove her jacket. A hallmark symptom that many women of her age experience. For this reason, she prefers discarding layers on-the-fly over dismounting so as not to disrupt her progress as well as the flow of cool air. I should mention that we were on a relatively deserted stretch of road.

My wife would kill herself trying that but at least I can still do it.
