I put in about 30 miles along Grizzly Peak and Skyline on a chilly Thanksgiving morning. It was in the mid 30s, which is pretty cold for me. I took a couple phone pictures of San Francisco across the way but nothing worth posting to Flickr. I did another 20 out wildcat on Friday which was not quite as cold. The Hilsen is quickly becoming my best bike ever. I really really like it.
Today is significantly warmer but it's raining hard, so I think I'll skip today.
