The third of the local Sunday Down Townies slow rides took place today, this time with three stops: the Spruce Street Suspension Bridge, Balboa Park (where a group of us enjoyed some tea, ice cream, and bean cake at the Japanese Tea Pavilion), and ending at local restaurant
The Linkery for some locally-sourced, organically-grown tasty lunch, provided at a discount by the owner, who happens to be an
SDBikeCommuter member. It was a pretty healthy ride, around 15 miles total, which was a bit more than we were planning for, but wonderfully cathartic. It was just cool and cloudy enough to get warm after an hour or so in the saddle, and by the time we reached the park, the sun was starting to take over, and the day turned absolutely gorgeous. Springtime in San Diego is truly a blessing.
I'm afraid I was more focused on good conversation with new friends to snap many photos, but I got a few.

Arriving at The Linkery
Molly's 1970 B.S.A., which I totally geeked-out over. Sorry, Molly.
Waiting anxiously for lunch! The light was weird, sorry for the blur.
