Thanks. I feel like I need to take a couple of days off, but I was hoping a couple of weeks of lighter riding might suffice. We'll see.

A flat tire early on as I started back up the Sepulveda Pass toward home turned out to be a nice rest (I had a curb to sit on while changing the tube, very civilized), pedaling back up once I had two air-filled tires wasn't half bad. It was also fun to make every stoplight for 5.8 miles while going downhill.

I got rained out today. Had planned to do 20-30ish miles, but a pop up thunderstorm screwed that deal. I was 5 miles in, and the radar indicated misery both ways. The car was less misery. Almost wiped out on the crushed gravel/mud/lake that the Towpath turned into.
