Beast Mode in the Small Ring

 Really good ride today with TC & Mark. 33 miles at 17.0 average speed on the Santa Ana River Trail and a bit of Pacific Coast Hwy. Every body did well and I actually felt great spinning my small ring for most of the ride, about 95%. TC called it Beast Mode in the Small Ring. 😄 A ride for the old guys, US !!! 🤣😂🤣 And of course my usual pre-ride meal, 2 eggs, 2 turkey sausage links, and 1 corn tortilla. 😋 Makes a big difference riding with others. My average HR on my GPS was only 126.

Did run into Paul as he was driving away from the parking lot. I think he was surprised to see me there on a weekday. So I explained the situation but just haven't made an official announcement till everything is approved. 😉

Back to the ride. Tony, Mark, and I all attended the same high school and ll graduated within a year of each other. I graduated in 1980. Damn we're old! 😄😆😄

I would have to say all those 🔥 hot rides make it a bit easier to handle the heat of other rides. Today TC said it was hot. 86 on my gps, he said,  there ya go. I must be at least a little acclimated because it didn't feel hot to me. Maybe riding along the coast helps but even near the end of the ride in Anaheim,  I was still good. 



Trying to take a picture of the nice clouds but TC got in the way. 😄






Then dinner with Gina at Millie's.  Breakfast flat bread tacos and Gina had Tilapia. And a little individual cherry pie to share. I deserved it. 😄
