Walking and riding......

8:15 am - Monday - June 6th - Likely, CA - 54° F, humidity 57%, wind 2 mph out of th3e southwest......mostly sunny today with a forecast high of 72° F.  On this date in 2021 TLE and I were walking on the beach at Seal Rock, OR......↴

....the view this morning.....↴

Sunday was a mixed bag of weather ranging from chilly and blustery in the morning to still, and warm during the middle, back to chilly and blustery late afternoon to balmy early evening.  TLE and I took another 1.75 mile loop walk out to the end of Likely Place Road, and back averaging 3.5 mph.....TLE declined the post walk 'usie', so it was just moi at the end......

....later in the day I decided to get out the Haibike SDURO and take a long ride out Likely Place to The Indian Road west to the Rails to Trails bike path which parallels US-395.....

Rails to Trails

.....I faced a headwind all the way out The Indian Road, then a side wind all the way to Jess Valley Road, then a tail wind back east on Jess Valley Road.  The views were large, and stunning....

The old Modoc Railroad water tower in Likely, CA

....I covered 10.68 miles in 56+ minutes averaging 11.4 mph......

.....we were going to grill a London Broil steak on the Sea-B-Que for our dinner fare, but the wind came up around 4 pm, so TLE seared it in a cast iron frying pan, then finished it in the Breville.  I neglected to take a picture of the beautiful, medium rare meat, but I did get a picture of the wine bottle.....

Châteauneuf-du-Pape (Château of the Pope) - 2018

.....one of the best Châteauneuf-du-Papes of this vintage we have ever had.  Bought it at COSTCO months ago.

To round out our day we took a post dinner 1.25 mile loop walk around the park, then settled in on the 'lido deck' to read, and listen to music.....

TLE joined me for our evening post walk 'usie'

....the sunset was beautiful, and magical......

.....I turned on the portable gas fireplace as the chill of the evening descended.  Eventually the freshening winds chased us back indoors for the balance of the evening. 

Thanks for stopping by!
