When Charmaine asked if I wanted to ride bikes or go to the beach, I was a little hesitant to commit to riding. I was pretty frustrated with my bike on my last ride and I wasn’t sure how I would react if it started acting up again. But when I awoke to the smell of fresh Sausage McMuffins with Egg, how could I resist?

We took it really easy, because we decided to go surfing when we finished, so we needed to have some gas left in the tank. We headed up through Rancho Sante Fe and then turned back toward the coast and caught the 101 in Encinitas. From there we got separated a little as I pulled a group of riders north to Carlsbad. I stopped at Carlsbad Village and waited for Charmaine and then we rode back home through Del Mar. It was a beautiful day to ride and my bike never acted up the whole time. Maybe it fixed itself? I doubt it, but I have no better explanation at this point. No matter what the case may be, I enjoyed it.
