I intended to sleep in late but ended up getting up early (<>!). Was not motivated to get over to the WWC for a swim, not sure why. No ride for me either, so I did some file cleanup work on the computer until a little after 11:00, when I headed over to Poway Bicycle to drop off a bike chain for the mechanic to install and test out the drivetrain. Drove home, then Ann took the car to go shopping. I hung around the house, watched a little TV, and ate some lunch. Once she got back, I drove back to the bike shop to pick up my bike, after the chain was swapped out, and take it for a spin to see how it rode. I took it up to near the hospital, turned on a side street and climbed a little bit to put the drivetrain under load. All worked well, I'm happy to report. I reversed my route and rode back to the car. About 3 miles in total. Drove home and got ready for a longer bike ride at a slow pace. The wind was quite brisk on this ride, had some times when the crosswind pushed at my bike and made it a little unsteady. Headed from home down the hill and over to Pomerado Rd, taking it up to Paseo del Verano, turning left there and taking the loop up, then back down to Pomerado Rd. Bike was a little squirrely on the ride back down. I turned left and kept going up to Ted Williams Pkwy, deciding to turn right there and start heading back. Over to Rancho Carmel Dr, turning right and from there taking the time trial route home. I was in cruising mode, no fast times on this day. The wind didn't turn out to be a big factor, although it was nice when it was pushing me along at times.

Ann was making batter for hush puppies when I got home. I fried them up, and they were nice and light, although a little too greasy to eat a lot of them. In the evening, I put in another bit of time working on file cleanup and consolidation before calling it quits and watching the end of an Endeavour episode. Then it was off to bed.
