I broke in the Tarmac right with plenty of mini-creek crossings and some mud!
Pace was mellow for the first half of the ride, but we somehow got caught up with a fast-paced paceline down on the bike path to Oceanside. Not so steady!
Justin's buzzing as Luke sets out for some aero bar time
The beach!
We stopped to fill up before heading back inland
One final stop before the last push home!
Spent the evening cleaning house and watching some Olympics coverage before prepping for our big day on Sunday and then bedtime!
Pre-ride brekkie
I remembered as we were about to pack up and head out that it was Valentine's Day! We had celebrated early (Friday) with surf & turf for dinner.

Roading it up to Modjeska Grade and down to Harding
I think if he'd had more energy he would've flipped me off

The crew finishing up before our descent down Maple Springs
Justin had offered free burritos, but after the parking lot fail in Irvine it was probably best there were only 3 of us, and a TON of food! We ate.
And ate again...
