It was an interesting day on the roads; surprisingly-few cars for such a nice day. I did wear leg warmers the entire time, but could have dispensed with them for the return from San Gregorio. The LaHonda duck pond had a couple of interesting birds sitting on pieces of wood, as seen in the photo above. They seemed completely content to just sit there, motionless, pointed in different directions. The winds were... interesting. Mild headwind going into Pescadero, as usual, but the Stage Road headwind was mostly a no-show. Caught a few breezes here & there but nothing consistent. Slight tailwind heading back up 84, but the strangest thing happened at the top- it changed directions! I had a pretty strong headwind descending 84 into Woodside. Odd thing, that. The last of the Machine Gun Man sculptures lies in disrepair inside the tree. “Lunch” in Pescadero. Coke and Olallieberry pastry. Yum! The turtles are back at the duck pond! The Triceratops continues to look sadly upon the field, hoping the Mastadon will get back up and continue the battle. --------------------------------------------------- Images: http://www.chainreactionblogs.com/diary/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/duck_pondIMG_0421.jpg http://www.chainreactionblogs.com/diary/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/mechanicalIMG_7131-150x150.jpg http://www.chainreactionblogs.com/diary/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/lunchIMG_7124-150x150.jpg http://www.chainreactionblogs.com/diary/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/turtleIMG_0428-104x150.jpg http://www.chainreactionblogs.com/diary/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/mastadonMG_0434-150x86.jpg --------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------- Post date: 2015-04-19 23:58:51 Post date GMT: 2015-04-20 06:58:51 Post modified date: 2015-04-19 23:58:51 Post modified date GMT: 2015-04-20 06:58:51 ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Export of Post and Page as text file has been powered by [ Universal Post Manager ] plugin from www.gconverters.com
