A few weeks ago I saw the poster Aerostitch sells that has numbers over cities for how many riding days they have in an average year. Somehow San Diego has 364 riding days a year.
Well, I wondered about that. What one day a year can we not ride? Sure it gets a bit cold in parts of the county, but I've been on New Year's Day rides and a friend's 50th birthday ride in January, ridden to CMA events in January and February, and done poker runs in March and early April. On the opposite extreme, I've ridden from San Diego to Victorville and back in early September-usually some of the warmest weeks of the year. So what day do we not ride?
Well, today is it for me! Seriously overcast when I woke up with light sprinkles-meaning painted marks were super slick since we haven't had a good rain in months. Forecast was for it to actually get cooler during the day, and rain more and harder. They were right-I guess our weather-girls and -guys are hired for more than looks!
All that said, I did see a couple of riders commuting home when I was, so I guess it still counts as a riding day!
