Two Wheel Saturday

The TV channel that shows the car and bike racing out here used to show their bike racing on Tuesdays, which were known as Two Wheel Tuesdays.

However, today was Saturday. It's not rained for a while, so I was able to get the mountain bike into the hills. I did my best to have a bit of a lie in and catch up on some sleep, but I was still up a little after 8am. I rode what is becoming my regular off road ride, a 16 mile (2 hour) ride up and down various fire roads and single track trails around Fort Ord.

After that I got home, I cleaned the lounge windows (from the outside - it requires a long pole as they're above the garage as viewed from the outside - ideal to do when I'm already dirty from cycling) - and I did my neighbor Anna's windows too (she's in the same deal as I am window placement wise).

Then I grabbed lunch (Korean BBQ after I found the Seafood Tacqueria is closed for a few days), came home and headed out on the motorcycle.

Traffic on the way down was a little busy (it's Spring Break, so folks are taking early vacations) until I got over half way down. The rest of the way down and nearly all the way back up was pretty empty and I had a great time.

I did stop at the Condor spot and the following occurred while I was there:

• No condors (boo)
• A couple of biologists turned up, they had tracked some birds to the south, and one of the two had seen some earlier in the day, but as usual, it's enlightening to talk to them
• Whilst looking around for birds, a fancy car approaches - followed by another. In the end seven or eight Porsche Panameras drive past, all with Michigan license plates (which when seen in California typically means they belong to the manufacturer), followed by a support vehicle with spare tires! - I smell a press launch of Porsche's new car.

So, the last bit was four wheels, not two - oh well! More four wheel action in a short while as the Australian F1 race starts at 11pm on a Saturday local time!

I really need to (a) catch up on my sleep from the previous week a bit more and (b) clean the house, but if tomorrow's weather is as nice as today's, I suspect I'll be outside again.

Final two wheel reference, late this week (Wednesday I think), my story on my latest bike went live on Soup - check it out here.
