Since rain is confined to 1 season, normally late fall via spring, in our space, it will get actually dry in the summertime. This has been made worse in recent times due to our drought. So I at all times sit up for having the hillsides flip inexperienced after the primary rains of the yr. I used to be completely happy to see that on my journey at this time, after the numerous rainfall we bought per week in the past (with extra hopefully quickly on the way in which).

These hills are normally brown all summer time (or “golden” as described by California tourism). They’ll quickly get good and inexperienced after a bit extra rain. That is wanting previous the lights at our native Dwell Oak Highschool stadium. Go Acorns!

Final Tuesday I went on a bunch journey with a protracted stretch towards a headwind. I loved giving among the riders who have been scuffling with the wind the good thing about a draft behind me on my e-bike. The issue was that I used to be hunched over the handlebars for a very long time whereas using in entrance. Often, I keep away from this by frequent standing breaks which makes me extra upright, however that doesn’t present pretty much as good of a draft. So on yesterday’s solo journey I took the identical bike and experimented. It seems I’ve the choice of sitting extra upright with my handlebar setup. Usually that’s not really useful as it’s much less aerodynamic (it’s known as the “sit up and beg” place by riders who think about themselves “severe”). However that’s not a problem on an e-bike, you may simply overcome the elevated wind resistance by bumping up the help degree. I attempted that out at this time, taking upright seated breaks sometimes, and no backache. Downside solved!

I rode the silver bike in entrance, my Vado, at this time. The setup with the bar ends permits me to comfortably pedal standing up for lengthy durations. However it additionally permits me to take a seat within the traditional upright place of a Dutch cruiser bike as proven within the image beneath.
