My bike commute to work is awesome. It is almost entirely on a completely off-road, paved bike path with views like this:
My goal is to see a bear on my ride to or from work. I've seen a coyote and a lot of birds, but no bear yet.
As you may have heard, the Sierra got a lot of snow this winter. Now this snow is melting, and the marsh is full. So the water has no place to go, except on the bike path. The bike path was 6 - 10 inches deep in some parts.
Luckily, I was wearing my adventure sandals and shorts. So I just slogged through the marshy grass to the side with my bike. Fresh meltwater is still pretty cold at 8:15 am, even all the way down at 6,200 feet.
