It was the classic Taco Tuesdays Route, out the Ballona Creek Path to Mustache Bridge, back to the Marina Del Rey Ralphs, out to the jetty, up to the Mini Pier, and back down Washington to Cinco De Mayo.
Or so I was told. I made it to the first stop, and decided that it was best to bail after the Mustache Bridge stop and cruise on back home, so I could catch up on some sleep and be functional at work tomorrow. XL was under the weather (although he did meet us at the start to hand out kick-ass spoke cards), and Richard was AWOL, so Cesar was in charge tonight.
All in all, there was a pretty decent turnout for a chilly Tuesday.
My buddy Eddie S. came out on his trusty Dawes fixie.
I have got to learn how to take better nighttime photographs.
I have also got to learn how to ride at night better, especially downhill. I'm slower than molasses downhill, and that's no good.
My opinion about bike paths has been changing lately. I used to think they were the be all end all for cycling, but at night, between the light traffic, and the quantity of streetlights, riding on the streets is the way to go.
Taco Tuesdays is awesome! Hopefully I can make it to the next one.
Get well soon XL!
