Thursday Morning Foothills w/TC (video)

 Nice Thursday morning ride with TC. Video later. Along the Foothills Claremont/San Dimas area. Mostly a conversational pace just burning 🔥 some calories with a couple short good efforts up a hill. No big hills as TC had to keep a schedule today. But a good enjoyable ride. 👍

TC has had a busy start of the year and some out of town vacations so we went kind of easy. Other than a couple good pushes on a hill or two. But either way, always good exercise, better than sitting on a couch with a remote in hand. Usually TC wants to throw in the San Dimas Cyn climb but today he was pressed for time. I rode a couple of days ago and TC invited me to ride yesterday but I requested to wait till Thursday giving me a day to rest between rides. Old age I guess, not really, more like being smart. Not wearing oneself out or getting so tired that one can avoid injuries by not pushing too hard. Because in reality, I'm just out for exercise. So it was cool that he was willing to wait even though he would be pressed for time.

Raspberry fig bars, no no! 🤣 Boy, I like those fig bars, Nature's Oven brand but the raspberry don't like me. I guess because the berry has all those little itty bitty seeds all over, when I eat the raspberry flavor, I get something stuck in my throat. This is about the third time it has happened. Not with the blueberry or the apple though which is a good thing, I can still eat those flavors. But this raspberry, it's like getting pepper stuck in your throat. I start choking then gagging and end up trying to gag myself to get it out. Lots of water, swallowing gummy lifesavers, whatever I can do to get it out. But darn, even after I'm back on the bike and rolling, I still get the feeling of gagging and puking. No more raspberry for me.
