Adventures in Bike Commuting-Foggy Ride Home

Today is my usual yoga class after work day, which means riding home after dark this time of year.

So I walk out of the gym to find it's completely socked in with fog-you can only see a few hundred yards at best.  But I have to get home.  I dry what parts of the bike I need to-seat, grips, mirrors, helmet visor and set out.

Fortunately traffic was already thinning out and visibility wasn't too bad.  Everyone was driving sanely, which is surprising for San Diego!  After about ten miles as I worked my way north and inland a bit, it cleared up and we were back up to normal SOCAL freeway speeds.  But the ride was a good reminder to be prepared for weather changes, even in San Diego!
