I took off shortly after sunrise. The main thing was to see if I'd gotten any better; the last couple of rides had been struggles. This one went much better. I rode up the beach, then inland and up toward the local mountains. Roughly 25 miles round trip, with about 1500 feet of climb. Temperature went up with the elevation, with clear sunlight. Some fog down around Palos Verdes, and a stream of high clouds coming from the south. Lots of birds out pursuing their business, some lizards. The laurel-leaf sumac is in bloom and busy with bees. It was good to be out, and it seems I've gotten over whatever was making me so tired.
