Ya that is a bit aways. LA is a pretty big place. lol. My problem is that my pace is too slow no matter what pace I am going. lol. It was easy keeping pace when I rode to school so many years ago because I was with my brothers and we took out time. I also ride leisurely when I am with the wife but when alone it is like a darn race. I have a Cateye coming soon and that will help me keep an eye on pace to make sure I don't push too hard too early or too long.
