Beach ride

As my boss's nephew came to town and her housekeeper worked a day earlier than normal, I was given the day off.  I decided to use it for a long bike ride.  I was thinking about the ride to Temescal Canyon, then to the Ballona Creek bridge, then home, and that is exactly what I did, taking a detour on the way down to stop at the bank and a detour on the way back to visit Gloria's cake and candy supply and pick up some blue food coloring.  42 miles for the ride.  It was good!  More important, I got my monthly cycling goals back on track and even slightly ahead, so I know I can meet my goals for the month.
