Ben started at the Arctic Bus Depot in Anaheim about a half hour it before I got to that point along the way… about 32 miles from my house. He made the coast about a half mile ahead of me while leaning on the “Turbo Mode” of his e-assist. We went to the fruit smoothie and fruit bowl place on Main Street we like. 👍🏾 Somehow between there and barely beach front I lost my best bones headset! We retraced back to the smoothie place but no luck. I brought a spare set as most times the battery 🪫 runs out somewhere on the way home and I switch out. The 2nd set ran out before I got off the SART! It’s supposed to be an 8 hr run time that I’ve only used about 3-3 times! Super strong ride out - 22 mph average despite lots of stop lights crossing Riverside and Corona. We had 6-12 mph headwind leaving the coast that turned into 20+ mph after I dropped Ben off at Arctic. Winds calmed down after I got to Corona to about 6-12 mph again. Dual hydration packs under the seat worked really really well. One with purified water, the other with Trader Joe’s unpasteurized lemonade. Wore my new recumbent configured jersey - has 2 pockets on each side in the lower rib cage area. A zippered pocket with an elastic top net like pocket on the outside of the zippered pocket. Easily packed 2 stuffed sandwich sized ziplocks of grapes, ID, Cards, glasses, and spare headset in them.
