Kevin, Karen, George, JR, Mark, Marcus, Kevin, Me… we had a good group starting up Kings this morning. My hopes of keeping people in sight didn’t work out so well; Kevin even gave me a handicap by having a seizure up near the top of Kings, but was back up and riding probably two minutes before I came on the scene.

We did start seeing a very light drizzle on the way up though, which managed to scare the entire group, aside from myself, Kevin (kid, not pilot) and Marcus back down Kings. Marcus lives up on Skyline though, so it’s tough to say what he would have done, but in short order, it was just me & Kevin heading south on Skyline, wondering if we’d be wishing we had rain jackets or had gone back down Kings with everyone else. Fortunately, we never saw anything more than that light drizzle, and once we headed towards West Old LaHonda, even that was gone.

The lengthy delays desending 84 where it’s just one lane? Not today! We had to wait maybe 30 seconds at each light, a far cry from the 15 minutes last week. Life is good!
