Today I rode 40 miles of this season's chip and seal. My 21+mph headwind turned to east for the leg to home. Temps were in the low 90's so I used my camelback. My biggest thrill besides riding, was resting under 1 of 2 shade trees along this route.

Hey Sara,
I share your frustration with the trail. Here is a link to the rules of the trail: http://www.sacparks.net/our-parks/am...diah-Smith.pdf
Note, it says, "Those on foot should stay on the left 'soft' shoulder." In fact, every so often, you'll see printed on the asphalt, "Joggers and Walkers Use Left Shoulder." I try to stay away from the trail during heavy traffic times of day - as you found out today, it gets scary out there! I do have to say that since beginning cycling, I have become a much more conscientious jogger.

I took my new bike out for a couple of spins. First to the store with DH and kids to get milk. Second just a fun ride for half an hour around town. I love my new bike!!!

We rode in the wind tunnel (15-20 mph winds)
for about 20 miles--BOTH ways. Can't figure out how we didn't get a tailwind. 
Today was the perfect day to ride, but alas, I had chores to do. I'm hoping tomorrow will be just as nice so I can take advantage of the weather.
