Riding hard and fast

Tonight was a quick one.  We did a combination of our Frozen Yogurt/Margarita route.  It was hard for Karen to bypass TiaJuanna's.    We did 18 miles in 1 hour and 13 minutes.  Up Peter's Canyon trail onto Hick's Canyon and taking Portola over to Sand Canyon -- a stretch of road we had never been on before. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Diego_Creek_bicycle_path

We were a little concerned that it might turn into the toll road, but alas we followed signs to the Great Park for an awesome downhill.   Theresa caught onto a road racer out for a nightly training ride and was able to move 25 miles per hour for a couple of miles before the guy turned left.

Although I think Pat forgot to call the street sweepers to clean the bike lane before our ride and it must have been Karen's luck that we caught all of those red lights.  Otherwise we would have been done quicker.

Wednesday night is a Flat Fix Clinic at Rock 'n Road Cyclery in Irvine.   The clinic starts at 7:30 PM so we may shorten our ride a little bit.  Let Theresa know if you want to go as we need to RSVP.
