Travelling to the US
I will be travelling to Mountain View (CA) for training during the month of January. Which is good - it’s a great area! 
Well… Silicon Valley/San Francisco in particular… I’ve heard it suggested that MTV sometimes seems more like a retirement villa these days, whatever the truth is in that.
Since I still have a lack of driving skills, I’m going to need to keep an eye on the weather - I hear that Silicon Valley can have very rainy periods at times during the winter. Which would be crap if I was cycling to work (I am). Rain gear will be accompanying me, I think, even though I have never before associated the area with any kind of bad weather.
