Ride and meet and play and eat....

Yesterday afternoon, I headed out for a quick ride. The plan was to head south to Carlsbad and meet the family for dinner at the Karl Strauss Brewery and Restaurant.

I've been putting in some miles on my Calfee Tetra Pro Adventure. Incredible bike! Shown here, it's set up with full SRAM Force, Hed Jet4 wheels with Continental Grand Prix 4 Season tires in 28C, Ritchey WCS stem, handlebars and seatpost, WTB Silverado SLT saddle.

I wasn't expecting much speed-wise. I was tired and feeling a bit lethargic as I rolled out the driveway. Soon, I was headed down the coast road and was getting into a nice rhythm, the tiredness and lethargy gone. I just kept feeling better the farther I went. Into San Clemente, by San Onofre, through Camp Pendleton, Oceanside, Carlsbad, Leucadia, Encinitas and then back up to Carlsbad to meet the family. Consistently around 20 mph during the ride with the exception of hills and some trafficky sections, I averaged a shade over 19mph for 51 miles.

Good way to end up the week! Dinner and beer was great, but having dinner with the wife and kids after having a ride was the best part!
