Pleasanton Senior Center - North Parking Lot --->MEET---> 9:15 am --->ROLL---> 9:30 am **Even the Tri-Valley can experience a bad (difficult) day for cycling. On January 15th the morning was cold...(mid-30s) and there was serious localized fog (drippy/limited visibility) isolated to Pleasanton-Livermore-that failed to burn off by mid-morning. The high pressure system refused to yield and the AQI was high. This was a difficult morning. It didn't help that a number of Pedaler outliers reported moderate temps and bright sun on the 'cookie crumb trail.' ***NOAA/NWS/WU are posting a far better scenario for our Pedaler ride this week (January 22)--->Temps in the mid-40s...no wind...sun!
