Razors Edge ★ Posted April 28, 2021 Share #1 Posted April 28, 2021 We went to Lowes last night around 7pm. Temps in the 50s. I was FREEZING my ass off. I was pissed I had worn a light windbreaker and not something with a little more insulation. At least I had long pants on, and once we got inside Lowes, it was much warmer. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

groupw Posted April 28, 2021 Share #3 Posted April 28, 2021 I have a friend who lives in the Bay Area. She loves to come back to visit so she can wear shorts in the evening in the summer. Come to think of it, I love that she loves to wear shorts in the evening when she visits! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s all a matter of perspective. In July - Oct we’ll be riding on 90+ degree weather while the northerners will be crying that it’s too hot. And yes 50 degrees is cold for us!

Reaction to changes in weather is often related to what it has been common lately. In the early Spring for me, temperatures in the 50's means going for a walk with a long-sleeve flannel shirt. By the end of Spring for me, the 50's means wearing a windbreaker over the shirt. Right now, temperatures in the 80's means I'm praying for a little breeze more than the observers of Lady Godiva's long hair. By the beginning of July, 80's will be wonderfully pleasant.

Wine, food, weather, mountains, seashore, wildlife, wondrous flora, and then there's Channel Islands NP, Death Valley NP, Joshua Tree NP, Kings Canyon NP, Lassen Volcanic NP, Pinnacles NP, Redwood NP, Sequoia NP, & Yosemite NP. Lots of pretty damn cool stuff at almost every turn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is on the before you die list Have we mentioned that cars don't seem to rust out here??? It's WACKY! I was riding the other day thinking how rarely they seem to actually do road repair work here versus my area. In VA, spring and into summer is pot hole repair season and, if you're lucky, a fresh repaving of the road. I think the Beltway and I-95 are continuously being fixed, but out here in CA, you see expansion/widening, but not much actual repair as the roads don't seem to be abused despite the massive volume of traffic. Might be different up in LA or the colder northern half up by San Fran, but down where I am, it is rare to see repair activity being done (or needed). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we have really wet winters, which this year wasn’t, we do get more pot holes than usual. But yeah our roads stay in good shape due to the good weather. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
