Charmaine changed her work schedule so that she’s through with work early in the afternoon on Mondays. This means I try to finish my own work a little early so we can go for a quick ride before it gets dark. That’s exactly what we did tonight.

There was a pretty good wind blowing from the west which helped push us up the trail, but was really in our faces on the way back. It didn’t matter too much, because we were mostly just taking it easy. Charmaine was practicing staying on my wheel and I was practicing blocking the wind. I don’t really need to practice that; it just sort of happens naturally. We pushed a few times, but mostly just had a nice relaxing ride.

On the way back, we took Carmel Mountain Road from Rancho Peñasquitos. I think we were hoping it would connect us to Camino Del Sur, but instead it wrapped us back around to the 56 Bike Trail, which was also fine.
