After a wet October and an even wetter November the weather is predicted to be dry (but cold) over the next few weeks. Dry in December is good. Very good. Especially when it's accompanied by a little sun, which can warm things up nicely for cycling. With the right clothes cycling in cold weather can be quite comfortable, and anything is better than rain. The last few days started off in the mid-to upper 30's, sometimes foggy, often cloudy, peaking at 45-50 degrees later in the day, depending on whether or not the sun came out. It was pretty dreary on Friday morning, which is typical this time of year. Low clouds, cold, the sun popping in and out but never staying out very long to convince me that it's going to be good riding weather. After my usual procrastination routine (it's not all laziness; in winter, timing is everything if you want to try and peg your ride to the nicest part of the day), and with some urging by Chris, I did finally get my bike clothes on and drive over to the West Hills to go for a ride.

| My favorite cow. Or is it a bull? I have passed him many times over the years. He is HUGE. Sometimes he is close to the road, other times he is a small white dot up on the hill next to the house. |
