the wind and rain over the weekend resulted in drifts all over the bike path that thwarted me and my skinny tires. fat tire bikes had fewer problems powering through but i know better than to risk it as i’ve already fishtailed on sand before. i took speedway for a bit which was a nice change of scenery and didn’t smell too much like pee in an alley. i really enjoyed seeing the backs of the venice houses that face the ocean. i discovered people really like modern house numbers.

outbound: 7.3 miles (forgot to reset odometer then reset before noting aggregated time)

return: 7.59 miles (speedway) / 49.35 minutes / 9 mph

slower all across the board. d**n sand!
