31 with Gina and New Friends

 32 miles 16.6 average speed with Gina and Jose. Just doing our thing till we stopped at Edna Park. Some dude wearing a cool pair of shoes. Caught Gina's eye so she asked me to ask him where he had gotten them.  The internet of course, Ali or Ali, something like that, I'll have to search it to remember the correct name. Turns out the dude is Miguel and his buddy, Junior. 

They were on a 20 mile ride but when we started chatting, they decided to ride with us to the beach making their ride about 43. I felt like having encouraged them to go the entire distance with us, I stayed at the front and just set a steady pace. Felt it would make their ride a bit nicer having added on extra mileage on a whim. Miguel was pretty happy with the pace when we got to the coast. He liked that it was steady and easy to follow. Of course, I'm Mr. Beanz, the Master Pace Setter ha ha ha!

Turned out to be a couple of pretty cool guys. Rising up into the ranks of cycling life. Seems they have gotten some pretty cool outfits and equipment so far. 

We were talking about bike shops and my buddy's shop, Mark's Bike Shop in Rancho came up. Turns out these guys come from the east IE to visit Mark's shop. That's pretty cool, small work it is!







The shoes that caught Gina's eye!


Nice little line to the coast, couple other wheel jumpers along the way.


Gina holding strong with the boys!
