20 miles

I wonder how many cyclists die near freeway on ramps. I could not find any statistics, but I found many stories. The ramps are a bad deal for a bicycle because people don't have to turn onto them, they can simply veer right, which is exactly where the bicycle will be.
I've ridden through these on ramp areas at least 10 times and I'm surprised that no one has ever honked at me. Maybe it is because they never even see me.

I rode the same route as yesterday: down Associated to Rolling Hills, then trough the park, onto Golden and down Rose to the trail. Then I came back on Kramer. A few notes:
1) I figured out how to make my new shoes even better: wearing two pair of socks. This makes the shoes fit better and eases up the hot spots. The only downside is that it was 94 degrees out.
2) I have gotten to bed quite late the last couple of nights. I could tell that my legs were not as strong because my body was tired.
3) Sometimes it is in everybody's best interest if I take the sidewalk. I usually don't take the sidewalk because pushing the crosswalk button often makes the light stay red longer, thus slowing people down. Instead I just ride with traffic. Which is what I did today, but there was a lot of traffic around the 91 and as I navigated past the on-ramps I was just in the way. No one honked at me, but I just couldn't flow with the traffic there.

I bought some new shoes. The soles were almost gone on my old tennis shoes and they were starting to make my feet hurt. The new pair are a lot like the old pair except they are gray and orange instead of just gray.
So I took the new shoes for a little spin down the Santa Anna River Trail. At first they seemed clunky and stiff. Then I realized they felt clunky because I had gotten so used to the thin soles on the other shoes. And the stiffness is a good thing in cycling. They also have a deep tread on them so my feet stay in the pedals better. Overall they are turning out to be great shoes. I hope to put many miles on them.

Barely Bloggable.
I would like to be more consistent with my riding and spread the miles across the entire week, but it just doesn't seem to work that way.
I could have left 30 minutes earlier, but I had a flat tire. I don't know why. It had no right to be flat. While fixing it I broke one of my tire levers. But...I did finally get out there and put on a few miles.
