Sunday’s ride with no pictures
If we rode our bikes to Glendora and back, but I didn’t take any pictures, did we really go anywhere?
After yesterday’s little disaster I was camera-less today. So right up front, I told everyone that nobody was allowed to get a flat today, since I wouldn’t be able to take a picture for the Flat Tire Gallery.
So we rode out to Glendora. It’s mostly flat land going there, since we did mountains yesterday. It was a nice time. We even averaged over 17mph for the trip, which is pretty good. When I was racing, I used to average about 18mph on my 42-mile ‘off-day training ride’. So to be going almost that fast 30 years later is not bad at all.
We stopped at the little French bakery in Glendora. It was pleasantly warm by then, so it was nice to sit outside in the sun.
Overall, it was a nice time. And we have something special planned for next weekend. For a long time, I’ve been wanting to go visit Bela Lugosi’s grave. We’re probably going to do that next Sunday. I even came up with a snappy name for the ride: “Down for the Count”
I hope my new camera comes before next weekend.
40 miles.
