A8. Two photos from last week.
The first is Trail 65 at Ft. Ord National Monument. It is one of the best single track trails out there for hiking or biking. It has great wildflower displays in the spring (or -- this year -- in the winter).
The flowering shrub is Flannel Bush (Fremontodendron californicum), with a bit of Ceanothus in the back.
John C. Fremont was an "interesting" character....

jealous of all the folks ridin
yes i could get out there. but..."Chicago’s streak of sub-freezing days came to a merciful end Friday morning when the mercury finally hit 32 degrees for the first time in 20 days.
..
The deep freeze peaked — or cratered — Jan. 23-24, with highs in the single digits & lows of minus 11 & minus 10 degrees below 0. Those were actual air temperatures; wind chills made it feel more like minus 20 or minus 30."@rustoleumlove @ai6yr @ascentale @bikenite brrr! same weather we’ve been having here in the Hudson Valley. I don’t think it’s been above freezing for 3 weeks now. And this weekend we’ll have it even colder than it has been, since we’re going to have a lot of wind. Next week’s forecast is still below freezing….

@ascentale @bikenite A8: This past week has been tough, but today I found an unexpected mood-brightener. Look at this book! I found it in a children’s shop, and the illustrations are so charming and the story so heartwarming that I bought a copy for a friend who has two little kids (she’s struggling too)
The girls ride bikes into the forest at night and find all kinds of delightful magic (as one does in the US, right???)
Part of a series of books, the kids always ride bikes.

@ascentale @bikenite A8. #BikeNite Not a photo from this week, but my brother has been scanning slides from my parents' collection and he just posted this scene from 1986, when we went to his graduation from UCSB. I only vaguely remember being there, but I definitely remember a massive amount of bikes in front of one of the dorms (Francisco Torres).

@ascentale @bikenite the afternoons feel amazing up near Sacramento but the mornings? Well…
(I do like the cold and fog though!)

Q8. This week I experienced a beautiful, spring-like day at the Cyclo-Cross World Championships in Hulst, the Netherlands
Day two was less spring-like but it didn't affect an amazing weekend.I saw lots of friends and met someone new I had previously only known through Mastodon

@ascentale @bikenite #BikeNite A8 We saw this beach firsthand for the first time in an embarrassingly long time! Friends and family who are landlocked are usually surprised we don’t get on the beach more.
We love walking barefoot in the water! And every time we do, and experience again what good medicine that is, we’re reminded to do it more often—as we used to.
What made us stop that formerly frequent habit? We were knocked down on 3 separate occasions by off-leash dogs—on this beach where leashes are required. The dog owners were not at all apologetic or caring.
Third time caused an injury that put a halt to our beach walks for a long time. In contrast, we’ve never been knocked down by a dog while biking.
We do like dogs and have owned and dearly loved several. We just don’t like irresponsible dog owners.

@ascentale @bikenite A8. Early for spring, but my monarch hatched! I was disappointed I didn’t get to witness it, happened much faster than I 5hought it would. And they reopened the bay trail around shoreline in Mountain View. I’ll take any positive news I can get. #BikeNite

@whack @ascentale @bikenite I love the fog!
Especially in contrast to what that area is like in summer! #BikeNite

@moira Yes, very exciting. I'd honestly never heard of fossilized dinosaur skin impressions!

@ascentale @bikenite A8. When I was in the smaller town of Pogradec, I saw upright cargo trikes used by city hort workers. Here in Tirana, they seem to be used more by people who make a living picking recyclables & valuables out of public trash bins.
You can see the woven plastic bag which is the shape of the cargo box. These bags can have their edges pulled up very high, extending the capacity of the cargo trike. These are all acoustic trikes...I've never seen one with e-assist. #BikeNite
