Last night I had worked out a route for today - San Bruno Mtn. Loop plus head to Mademoiselle Colette on the way back to get some chaussons aux pommes. Well, as usual, this morning I was faffing about and even thought about doing a couple other routes instead. I'm just not psyched to do road rides, especially by myself. In the end, I got myself out the door and I should've had time to do the full route as planned. That is until I got halfway down Sawyer Camp Trail to find the gate closed at Jepson Laurel. I guess the trail north of it is still flooded. So I had to back track. I thought about not going up to San Bruno and grabbing lunch at In-N-Out or Popeye's but decided to stick to the plan. Climbing Guadalupe Canyon Pkwy, I thought about skipping going to the top of San Bruno Mtn. and just going over the saddle but I figured I was all the way here, might as well do it. If I didn't have time, I could always go to Mademoiselle Colette tomorrow. Had lunch at Subway in Brisbane. The table was in the shade so I got a little cold because I was sweaty. When I got going again I was worried I was just going to be chilly for the rest of the ride but luckily I warmed up and finally found the right temperature for the rest of the ride. It was also clear after lunch that I wasn't going to be able to make it to Mademoiselle Colette before it closed. It worked out I guess because my legs were also starting to get toasty. They were tired enough that I just went straight up Ralston, even though I don't like the traffic, just because it's more direct and less steep than the side streets. *** After today's ride, I'm 0.5 mi. shy of 5,000 mi. for the year. D'OH!
