Yep, look at the calendar date: Feb 23, not far enough south to not see white. White color has covered the red dirt. Forecast called for it, winter weather advisory, Snow started this morn around 8. Ground temps are above freezing which will gradually return color back to red. Gift horse in the mouth of hero dirt forthcoming is temps below freezing at night creating freeze thaw and retarding trail drying out. Maybe riding on Sat.
Last week was shorts, this week back to layers.
Today I hung out at Absolute Bike here in VOC for a visit for both learning and sharing. Shop people are prolly, mostly, not in their 30s. Nary a customer. Generation gap. My purpose was to share myself for whatever takeaway each person took. I added to their memories. Like a grandfather speaking with his grandchildren. Mountain bike shops are my social connection. We don’t know each other and won’t unless both of us form some sort of a connection. Step up or step out.
Snow a times fell faster than the warm pavement could melt it. I drove over snow. VOC is at 4,000′ Sedona is higher at 4,500. Up there is the Worm Bookstore where I source my books. Last night I finished my book, I need new material to get lost in which keeps me out of my own life, but possible slippery road and plethora of unskilled drivers kept me down here and dealing with my life. Ramblings.
Cloudy skies and slight amount of snow on the solar panel lessened the battery charging.
