WTF.... this was a comedy of errors and I don't really real like reliving it... Ride started good was trying to really take it easy and enjoy the ride and be all Zen and save the legs but get in a little workout. Up the initial climbs I get to the top of the climb after Scripps Poway Prkwy.... 2 flats both front and back done.... After a few other fellow commuters help me out I'm back in business and I make it all the way past miramar and BAM! Rear tire goes out again.... I call Sean and he picks me up THANK GOD! Door to door 2.5 hrs. went on-line bought a bunch of tubes, CO2, and a new rear tire as I'm not dealing with that crap tire anymore (3 flats on that tires in 3 weeks).....

Well after my new neighbor's car alarm decided to go off at 1am for the second night in a row I got a slow and later start then I would have liked.... But After really burning out early in July I decided to take it a bit easier. So i kept telling myself to dial it down on this ride.... Pull back a bit on the climbs and just enjoy not being at work.... It was a cloudy day a bit cool, wish I brought arm warmers for the first 20 mins till I warmed up. But even with my slow riding and some luck at the lights I was still @ the 52 in under 30mins :) I still dialed it back and road thru Miramar at a relaxed pace. Down to carol cyn and I creeped up that hill. Then up and to the bike path to Scripps poway prkwy. Man People are so stupid I got the walk sign waited for a guy taking a right to see me (waiving and yelling to get his attention) then I get on the other side of traffic and a stupid bitch in a PT cruiser was flying up to take a right I knew she wasn't gonna stop before the X-walk. I slowed to let her thru and sure as shit she blew path be with a horrified look of OH I'M SO SORRY she lips to me thru the glass.... Look where the FUCK you are going next time I yell back as I'm still a bit cranky from just waking up :) Can't wait for one of the best parts of my day the ride home :) Activity Route: Claremont to work Elev.

Oops!

So I have been trying to diagnose the gti's vaccum leak as I have been
getting a p136 leak code.... After the ride today while pulling into
the garage I could hear the hissing leak!

Upon closer inspection my keen mechanic skills found the very obvious
problem..... :)

After almost a week off I hit the trails again for a great ride with Jeff and Joe. We headed out from the visitor center and went north slowly climbing our way up to Miramar. Down some uber fun single track and then back up to descend that great trail Jeff showed us. after the decent we were ripping back and my chain broke.... First EVER chain I broke on the trail... the master link broke, lucky me Jeff had a spare and after a small break we were back on it :) Great ride! Legs felt ok rested but resty, the lungs felt good, the best I'd say in a while! Activity Route: -- Elev. Avg: 561 ft Location: La Mesa, CA Elev.
