Lazy Lizard Brevet was last Saturday. Been raining off and on for several days and temps have dropped somewhat. Needed to get in a ride before the posted Ursa Major Permanent this Saturday. Temp was 29 degrees at 6:00 AM this morning, so that negated a early start and longer ride today. Guess I didn't want to put up with the super clothing layers and later take them all off. I opted for John M.'s Bike Path X Two route.
Due to delays, I didn't start till around 9:30. Warmed enough by then for just a wool underlayer and a SD Rando wool short sleeve jersey with knee warmers and long wool socks. Stopped by Bonsall Mickie D's for a cookie run and reload bottles. Slight tailwind on the SLR Bike Path to the coast. Stripped down at Magee Park in Carlsbad. Picked up a gruppo paceline riding south on Coast Hwy. 101. These 4 guys were crankin' on new tri-bikes till they hit the small roller in So. Carlsbad. I got 2 of em. They turned off at LaCosta Ave. Good thing for me. Then picked up a hot chick on TT bike into Encinitas.
Rolled through Del Mar and on to the 56 Bike Path over to my normal stopping place at Camino del Mar and ARCO-AM/PM there. The 89 cent drink machine was broken again, so I opted out of Sobe refuel. Sat and ate a banana and bar. Was a little sleepy, sort of HO-hum feeling. Continued on and stopped by the new bike shop off Centre City Blvd in Escondido to check out MTN bikes.. Not much there, only cruisers and BMX stuff. Still lookin' for that Rando trail MTB set up for dirt routes. Took the Rail Trail back to San Marcos. 6 hour ride at full BLAH mode. Felt sleepy-tired.
