After a week of commuting, and no road riding the past weekend, I finally got out on Saturday. I rode down the Rio Hondo river trail to the Long Beach river trail. Stopped in Long beach for a break, and then took the beach trail over to Seal Beach. Then up the San Gabriel river trail back home. 62.5 miles in 3:46. I set a blistering pace on the way down to Long Beach, with an average of 18.5 miles per hour. The way back was not as quick. At about the 45 mile mark, I was cruising along at about 20 MPH thinking I was the king of the world, when all of a sudden some guy on a S-works Tarmac blows past me like I was standing still. Damn, I started thinking I shouldn't have had that second glass of wine the night before.
