I did some thing Randon related today : I test rode a permanent route. I started from my home rather that designated "start" place, evem thou it added 5 miles. I went to downtown Riverside and started climbing. Noticed that the City Of Riverside had changed a streets name . I also miffed a couple of turns on my cue sheet I then rode through Moreneo valley and onto Gilman Springs. Thought It would be a nice quite road. nope! Lots of people using it to get to The Soboba Indian casino. I had lunch in Hemet and turned back. no Fun! 12-16 mph headwinds all the way. That's what get for picking a flat route A my checkpoint at mile 93 , I decided that I could take a different route back and still get 200K in today. I had done the remainder of my route before. Turns out , I was 5 miles short (119). I almost went a different way around Ontario Airport that would have given the 5 miles (only 4 of them would have been into the wind)
ain't this crazy stuff fun?
