Thanks again, everyone, for the positive thoughts. I really love being part of this community, more than I can tell you.

SZSZ, I go to Lake Miramar in the Scripps Ranch area. It's a five-mile loop around the lake, but just shy of the 4-mile marker, there's a turnaround, so I call it a Hobbit lap - I go there and back again (like the title of Bilbo's book in The Hobbit). Only I go there and back again five times, just shy of 8 miles each lap, then a short lap around the parking lot to make up the quarter mile difference, to make 40 miles.

During the week I ride at Fiesta Island, too, between 12 an 3, so maybe I'll see you there. I drive a white Rav 4 with silver trim, and you'll recognize my license plate. It's the same as my screen name. I'm the one on the purple and white Palomar GT with road tires and a hot pink helmet.
