Default Riding at dusk

Great time to ride here in the city. When the text cagers head home and the roads clear for the 2-wheelers. Plenty of riders out today. I joined in.

My usual stop at the gates of Dodger Stadium after climbing the gentle hills of Chavez Ravine:

It's difficult to relate to those of you who have the good fortune of living where the weather is great year round. It hasn't been above freezing here for over two weeks. There's lot's of snow on the ground, the roads are white from all the salt and two days in a row of sunshine is unusual. Life in Pennsylvania; miserable, drab, dreary, cold and overcast most days in the winter.

Friends keep telling me to enjoy the 4 seasons, but I could live without one of them.

Thanks dudes. Post pics of some of your sweet rides at dusk if you like.

I'm thinking about a package of tickets this year for the ball games. But I love riding up there in the off-season. It's kinda funny, you get to pass the LAPD police academy over the speed limit because none of them are actual cops yet.

There is a high speed pursuit, coned training course there too. I'm gonna have to sneak into that sucker if I can.
