When the goin' gets hot, the hot get goin'! Saturday was near-record hot in California's Central Valley, but yours truly hit the road early for a three-hour bike ride before the extreme temperatures hit. The list of riding "essentials" includes: water, bike repair items, spandex, kilt, and camera.



Along one main thoroughfare were a half-dozen of those perennial favorites - the fundraising car washes. Little League, cheerleader squads, clubs and causes of all kinds... and a motorcycle repair shop bikini car wash.

Now, my bike doesn't take kindly to washing and I shy away from being photographed in cycling shorts, but this opportunity was too good to pass up. So on goes the camo kilt for the photo op. (Besides, how could I post a non-kilt pic to this forum??)



The point of this post is to always carry a camera... (I think that's the point... uhhm...)
