Rode out to Yorba Regional Park and met up with the Ladies and Gents Group and crossed over to Santiago Canyon to the Santiago Bike Trail to a Starbucks in Newport where there was over a hundred cyclists 🚴🏾 along regular humans. Chatted up for a while then cruised a mile or so the Veterans Memorial… Thousands and thousands of flags many with bios of those who didnt come back from the many false flag wars our politicians have caused. Nice pace and some good quality tempo! Forgot to mention that I rode off from home this morning and forgot my SRAM Red front derailleur battery 🔋(blue tooth shifting) so I was limited to the use of the big front chain ring only all day. Despite the rising inland temperatures, I got up Green River pretty solidly! The heat still zapped my average speed down from 17.9 to 16 something. I pulled back some turf heart rate wise though! New max today of 174! If you go through the pictures you’ll see that and there was actually 2 different women in the group that brought their small dogs along! One a tiny but super fluffy white Pom - in the front of her jersey with goggles! The other also with goggles in a right to left pass through in the middle of a special back pack made for little dogs. Both dogs were incredibly calm and seemed to enjoy the rides. If I ever get another dog. That how we will roll!
