Summer in San Francisco
If you ever decide to visit my city in the summer, be prepared for foul weather once the sun goes down.
This pic is at one of the higher spots in the city, near twin peaks. So it does get extra foggy compared to some of the lower points (downtown, embarcadero, etc)
If you have an iphone, check out an app called SFClimates to stay on top of all of the microclimates.
Weird, I know.

I love reader emails. I got this lovely note from a reader recently and had to share this article he mentioned. Thanks TH!
Hi Joanne,
Love your segments on Wheelnerds and Pace podcasts. Please keep up the very informative + timely info.
Anyways, thought you may like this article from HFL and maybe reference it next time on the Pace (perhaps even a link on your site)
I liked it 'cause you rarely see such a detailed review of gear and how it worked after rolling along the tarmac.

This is indeed a very good article about how even basic street gear can save your body parts from serious injury. Normally, HFL closes articles after a certain period of time (12 hours) unless you're a paid subscriber. But luckily, they decided to keep this one open permanently, given how important the message is.
