I thought I was going to take today off, since I had plans for tonight. However, the plans changed, so I got to go for a ride! An unexpected joy. I even got to try out the new bike computer and gloves I bought during lunch.

After work, I rode a trail and discovered that it dead-ended at the junction of Highways 101 and 87. So I turned around and came back. All in all, it was almost 11 miles and took me about an hour. I know, I'm not exactly a speed demon.

The most exciting part of the route was going down a path of loose stones to get under an overpass. My bike got a little squirrely and the sun was in my eyes. But we made it!
