I tried to avoid lights by taking Carmel Creek Road instead of El Camino Real on my way down to the 56 bike trail. That turned out to be a mistake. I really hate that road; it&#8217;s so rough. I hit a massive bump right in the bike lane on my way down the hill. My hands slipped off my handlebars and I was lucky I didn&#8217;t crash. My front water bottle popped out and went spinning across both lanes of traffic and into the island. Luckily the cars and vans on the road were paying attention and didn&#8217;t squish it. As soon as there was a break I rode back up the bike lane and across to the median to grab my bottle before heading the rest of the way down to the trail.<\/p>\n<p>I seemed to hit every traffic light red today. It was frustrating and I knew it would cause me to take longer than an hour if I didn&#8217;t cut my ride short, but there was no way I was cutting it short. I was having too much fun out there.<\/p>\n<p>I wasn&#8217;t fast and I was going through my water like crazy, but I was having a great time. It&#8217;s been a long time since I&#8217;ve ridden up that trail and I took it fairly easy and really enjoyed it. I&#8217;m going to miss the 56 bike trail in particular when we move away in the next little while.<\/p>\n<p><iframe height='405' width='590' frameborder='0' allowtransparency='true' scrolling='no' src='https:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/84687743\/embed\/1be0b5f923467d3e48fca08498293a330dabbe71'><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I hoped to be gone an hour for lunch, but I think I hit every stoplight red, which added a lot of time to my ride.
