Super quick, panera closes in a minute. A slightly disappointing time up Mt. Palomar, but a huge improvement from last April. At this rate of improvement (chopping off ~15 minutes every 1.5 years), I'll be matching Jan Ullrich's mythical record time of 48 minutes from the Taco Shop to the Top in about 2 years. The yellow jersey's good as mine.
It was very hot down at the base. 80s, so 70s at the top. Ran out of water, 2 full bottles, about 3/4 of the way up. Then my lower back got tired. Not my legs, my lower back. In fact, my lower back still is sore. I was moving at a nice clip up until then. Shucks.
Ate chili and mac and cheese at the restaurant at the top. That was a mistake when I still had 8 miles left to ride (okay, like 7 of those are straight downhill, but still).
Um, what else. Damnit, because I had to eat dinner and use the internet, I missed like the greatest Monday Night Football ever, it seems. Saw the first three quarters, but it looks like the 4th quarter, by the looks of the gamecast, was a great quarter unless you're a fan of the Bills. But, who is, really.
I'll post pictures soon. The top of Palomar is somewhere I don't expect to be anytime soon and it was the most beautiful I've ever seen it. You could see the Pacific in the distance. Maybe Japan if you had a really good telescope. Gorgeous. Painful, but it was worth it.
Wow. I'm leaving the West Coast soon. I will have to adjust my TV schedule.

No, nobody at all. The only people who live in Buffalo are a bunch of Buffalo Sabres, Bills and Jills (the cheerleaders you won't find on any calendar). And Lance Diamond.
Did you get the Ullrich special tacos? Carnitas with synthetic testosterone. That'll take a few minutes off your time.
