A New "Ghost Bike" on Valle Vista Road:
A "Ghost Bike" Is a bike, usually old, painted white and put at the site of a bicycle fatality. I had to look this one up. It was a 31 year old man riding against the traffic (illegal in CA) at night apparently working on a container of "beverage" (also illegal). He attempted to cross the road in front of an oncoming car and payed a high price. It is a sad and needless event and one more good example of why DUI is a bad idea. It is a tragedy for his family.
A beautiful spring day with a variable wind (as so often is the case here), Mostly NW to the Airport then SW to W the rest of the loop. It was nice going out but I had a 5-10 mostly headwind with 15-20 gusts coming uphill back to town. Other than the fact that it can take 5+ MPH off your forward speed the most aggravating aspect of it for me is the roaring in the ears and beyond the irritation of that one cannot hear cars or trucks until they are already upon one. It was not bad enough to ruin the ride though.
At the Airport:
A Roadrunner at JTNP HQ (not a common sight):
More JTNP HQ:
A nice pair of Beemer touring motorcycles:
The right wind direction and velocity to cause the beautiful sculpture to rotate more than I have seen before:
3/8" Wrench Picked up From the Shoulder at the Airport Driveway (also not a common sight in this day of cars most home mechanics cannot work on):
