I do not use the short route very much anymore. Only when it’s late in the day, dark, and raining. Otherwise, it just feels like a waste of time getting ready for such a short ride. Instead, I have added a longer 16 mile route option to my regular commute, which makes this ride the medium route. I guess that’s progress.
The rear cassette replacement (12-24 to a 12-27) makes the steepest hills in San Diego just barely climbable, where they were impossible, which is perfect. Cycle computer. Added a Garmin (Edge) 305 cycle computer to the rig a few weeks back. It adds wireless cadence and heart monitoring with improved GPS tracking for all the nice charts below. While the “Edge” is really no longer the cutting edge of cycle computer technology (see the Edge 705), it’s proven tech that adds great value. The only thing missing is street maps. Sure, I looked at the very expensive 705, and I considered the cost difference between it, and my bike. In the end, I could not justify turning my bike into a mount for a GPS cycle computer. The 305 does everything I need, and you can get one with all the accessories re-manufactured for less that $150.

| The day was perfect. An easy ride, no pushing, just riding. Spectacular inland and coastal views, couldn’t help but stop and smell the flowers.
