Left town on the bicycle, wondering if my black shirt might get too hot on the beautiful sunny day yesterday. It was noon, about 70F, chilly on the bike, so I kept my vest on until I got the 5 or 6 miles down river where the valley becomes part of the flatlands around Humboldt Bay. From then on it was thick fog and bloody cold! Added a couple layers (wool sweater and rain jacket) -- shorts and sandals were okay, but had rain pants as back-up. I headed north along the coast and spent some time hanging out at the mouth of the Mad River, watched the sea lions who were also hanging out. Fog thick enough to turn my lights on, no sunset tonight, and by the time I got back the 15 miles to home, the fog had moved solidily up the valley. A very nice ride...only a couple digital images of the fog.
