Sunday Special

I planned this route in the last few weeks but did not get the chance to ride until today, Sunday!

From Spain and Juan Tabo, I went west till Moon.
I turned north on Moon, crossed the bridge and got to Academy.
The city recently added a bike lane on Academy. I took it down to Wyoming.
I went up the bike path and took the following picture

Thanks to the city again, the new bike and running path was great! It was smooth riding!
I stopped by the new bridge.

After the bridge, I headed west on the bike path south of San Antonio.
Thanks to the many arroyos in town, along with it, the city added the bike path.

I took the path till San Pedro and headed north.
Right before Paseo del Norte, there is another bike path.
The sun was just peeking out, so I got a nice shot of my shadow.

This bike path goes all the way till Barstow.
From there, I headed south till Cherry Hill library.
I headed east on the bike path.
It was all uphill!
To stop or not to stop?
I kept asking myself.
I gave in when I saw the overhanging cables against the bright morning sun.

When I reached Eubank, I made a slight left turn and then rode into El Rey.

This part of town is really new to me. Although I passed by Eubank many times, this is my second time on that road.

I gave myself a good reason to stop when I saw some picture perfect spots along El Rey.

When I got to Tennyson, I turned north, then east on San Rafael.
Finally, I got to Tramway and it was all the way downhill to Spain and back to Juan Tabo!!!!

Total trip is about 13.5 miles.
Just like running, I thought after the triathlon, anything less than 15 miles will be a piece of cake.
Nope, not necessarily.
All in all, a great ride.
Looking forward to the next weekend ride.
