took the 7:48am coaster train from old town-san diego to oceanside. had ambitions of heading east and doing couser canyon, lilac rd and maybe del dios or questhaven/harmony grove
but as soon as i stepped off the train, it was readily apparent that the legs were dogmeat. opted to peruse and cruise the coast highway towards san diego at my slowest pace ever.
did give the last fourth of the torrey pines grade (outside) a decent effort but otherwise, this ride was mailed in. made it to sd, then added on the usual miles/places/streets.
66 miles with approximately 65 of those cheap miles. felt better later on but by then, i was in whatever mode. light overcast along the coast kept it coolish until the end of the rose canyon bike path
south of ucsd/along the 5 fwy, then the humidity and the heat kicked in. wasn't all that happy at the time with the overcast but in retrospect, it was pleasant.
