Today’s ride: 53.5 miles, down the sun-drenched LA coast into Palos Verdes, where a light fog hovering around the peninsula kept the temperature just right for cycling. Held a good medium aerobic pace on PV Drive all the way to Portuguese Bend, the turnaround point for today. Stopped on the way back for a short rest and a half bottle of Gatorade at the Wayfarer’s Chapel. It’s been a while since I did that route, and I’d forgotten how much those rolling hills on the way north can hurt, especially when oppressed by the colonial hegemony of a fascist headwind, as I was today.
