Sweaty Thursday

Rode up the hill to Kearny Mesa to visit the urologist today. Traffic wasn't too bad, although it always makes me nervous. Three guys in matching jerseys passed me on the Fairmont bike path. I, once again, didn't see them coming up behind me! I need some kind of heads up display.

It was balmy when I started out, but it warmed up quickly and was very warm on the way back. It's 91 in the shade in La Mesa right now. So there!

My strategy to climb up onto Kearny Mesa was going on the Murphy Canyon bike path past the stadium, past Fry's, then onto Daley Center/Ruffin, then up Aero. This was a lot easier than climbing Mission Village Dr.

It took about an hour to get there, and about an hour to unload and secure the bike. I locked the front wheel to the frame with a u-lock and hid the bike in some bushes behind the building, since I didn't see any bike parking. I took all the stuff off the bike, like the speedo, tool bag, and pump, and secured them in the handlebar bag which I carried in.

The doc said my PSA was a little higher and I might have to get radiation in a few months if it keeps rising. What fun!

I rode back the same way I came, no problems. I did Montezuma in low-no-granny, not bad!

No flats!
