Nice solo 40 miles on the San Gabriel trail today, 16.1 average speed. Usual morning ride breakfast, 2 eggs and 2 lean turkey sausage 😋 Breezy but felt good. I didn't look at the temperature but I know it wasn't 105 like last week. 🤣
Usually do longer rides on Saturday but got lazy with the weather on Sat so I rode on Sunday. Saw a few people heading to opposite direction while heading to the coast but wow, on the way back, I think I was the only guy heading north. Other than the dude on the ebike in the video.
But felt great so I can't complain. Oh wait, yes I can. As I have mentioned many times, the biggest threat to my safety while on a bike is other bike riders. Today, about 1/2 mile from the coast, I was passing a jogger, signaled then went to the left to go around. Some freaking idiot on aerobars, comes on my left squeezing through actually startling me figuring nobody would be stupid enough to squeeze through like that at a high speed. But yes, a cyclist. I see so many facebook posts about stupid drivers but gee, there are just as many freaking idiots on bikes. When we got to the coast, he arrived about 30 seconds before I did so I was hoping he would be there so I could tell him what a fucking moron he is. But when I rode up, he had just turned around and had such a big smile on his face and said hi as if he was super proud of his effort. Uhhh, I was actually taken by surprise thinking he would be an arrogant bastard so I held back when he rolled by and waved. I had actually turned to video on so I could capture my words on video letting him know what jerk he was but something got me ha ha ha! Well damn, ruined the entire scene.
Lazy Saturday so I took Gina to a movie instead. Mongolian BBQ in Claremont then The Accountant 2 in Montclair, the mall.
