El Toro Negro

Are we watching the Tour of California? We (my double chin and I) are. Heroic effort by Francisco Mancebo in the rain yesterday. Today? 100+ miles of biking through the coastal roads of Marin County in 45 degrees and intermittent driving rain. SF to Santa Cruz. Sounds lovely on a sunny summer day. Less so as currently depicted on the Vs. Channel.

Awakes in me several feelings:

a) Glad I'm sitting in the studio and not riding a bike
b) Wish I was riding a bike (on a sunny summer day)
c) A clarion call to register for the 5-boro bike tour

El Toro Negro. Wow.
