Had a great ride this morning! The weather is exceptionally nice and spring-like (for Southern California), and I wore a pure cycling jersey for the first time (good move, as it got warm rather quickly). I took the slightly tougher way in, and just had a great time riding.
I think my next couple of adaptations will be a nice Osprey backpack (I'm getting a little tired of rocking two packs--the Fox hydration and the messenger bag over it) as my current set up is cluttered. I'm also thinking of those Betabrand pants you see advertised here--anyone have any experience with those? I had my Jogalite velcro band slip off my pant leg and I caught the edge of my pants. I suppose any more pant leg and I could have gone down--so, I need a better solution, and for now, I don't want to ride in shorts (don't want to hump too many clothes in).
Anyway, I'm still at it...
