I decided to punish myself for future, unspecified, crimes by riding 116 miles on the trainer on Saturday and then 87 harder ones on the Sam Woo ride on Sunday. I rode the Sunday ride with Amber. It was cold (58F) and foggy to start and we put all our layers on.
Amber did a massive pull down to the beach and it warmed up a bit so that we had to take layer off when we got there. We got to Dana Point in good spirits and noticed they have installed cute elephant statues everywhere. Here's one next to the Brig, where we ate.
By now it had warmed up to 72F and I took my vest off and slimed on some sun block. It's so gross, the way sun block and sweat mix together. Twenty-eight miles later we were at Sam Woo, but the line was long and we elected to buy Korean pastries at the market next door. They had custard tarts - yum.
I had driven to the start of the ride with my GoPro mounted on the bike, through light rain and fog, and the GoPro would not turn on. I must have got water into it somehow. I dried it for 48 hours and got it to turn on, but it wouldn't reformat the SD card. I put a new SD card in but it wouldn't format that one either.
I started researching a new GoPro and I was maybe a minute away from clicking the buy button when my GoPro suddenly announced it had formatted the SD card. I put the old one back in and it formatted that too. It's like it knew it was going to be replaced, and tried extra hard. My 5 year old Session 4 - what a trooper. I did order a waterproof case for it, though.
One a side note, I bought a Bismuth specimen as a Christmas present for Sherry. It's really pretty.
