A very nice warm afternoon with very mild N breeze. Some days the climb from here to Baseline feels good. Today it did not. I think it is a hangover from being in the Agua Caliente Casino in Palm Desert for 15 minutes yesterday. I went in to find my friend Bill and get him out to go back to his assisted living place in Yucca Valley. The place was full of smoke. When I smell and feel that now I cannot believe I ever smoked let alone for 25 years. I am lucky to be alive.
In the pic you can see my new Axiom trunk bag I purchased with some of my birthday money. I doubt that I will use it locally but it will be very handy on longer rides especially in warm weather when I need to carry more liquid. The main compartment is insulated and the side pockets unfold into small panniers (see pic below), I wore my new $26 Schwinn helmet I found for $11.54 at Sears in PD yesterday. The old one was not so bad but the white plastic is yellowed from the sun and one has to wonder if it has lost any strength. For $11.54 it is worth it to have a fresh one especially since I read of a study that found that cheap helmets are just as good as $150 one in crash protection.
Old head new helmet. The happy biker:
