Happy Monday.
Four days of bike racing finished up yesterday up in Redlands California. Visit the Redlands Classic website for race results and highlights videos.
My pal Ross now runs Velo Reviews.
Today’s Rate My Velo photo of the day is of this woman with a red umbrella I shot in Taiwan. Is it bragging if I tell you my photos were photo of the day on both Sunday and Saturday as well?
Sunny with a high of 76°F/24°C today and 79°F/26°C tomorrow, and Jackie Chan is not dead. What else can I say?
Happy Friday, everybody. California roads, highways and rail service closed in the wake of flooding and slides from the incessant rain, but I’m still able to ride my bicycle in the rain! (I’m just happy Highway 17 hasn’t washed out and that Caltrain is running on time).
You might remember the 83 year old woman who rode her bicycle to safety when a tsunami hit Hachinohe, Japan. Taylor Anderson, who was last seen riding her bike in Ishinomaki, wasn’t as lucky: She’s the first known American casualty from the disaster in Japan. The 24 year old school teacher from Virginia worked for Japan Exchange and Teaching Program (JET). With condolences for her family, friends and students.
