Point of views...

It was one nice winter day, just right for vest, arm warners and sunscreen, and a nice long ride to the coast for lunch. It was about as clear as it gets, and from the top of the Santa Fe Dam I looked north to the snow covered pate of Mt. Baldy,

I looked east toward home in Claremont, and the more distant peaks around Big Bear,

I looked south along the San Gabriel River Trail, at the end of which, and some 30 miles away, lies the Pacific Ocean,

And lastly, I looked west where the buildings of downtown Los Angeles figured prominently on the horizon.

One of the best things about winter rides is how clear the sky is and how far you can see.
