Rode solo today. Went to the first scheduled rest stop on a long club ride but I took a shorter route to beat them there. Only 4 of them and they didn't know what I was doing. So I get there in plenty of time and get a coffee and grab a table outside. Another rider showed up and sat down to have coffee. While we were chatting I saw my friends ride by. Guess I don't get to say hi.

So my new friend says he's going to climb Latigo Canyon, this works for me so I went with him. The pace and conversation were good until he launched into his conspiracy theories. I don't want to repeat them here but he turned out to be bat-guano crazy. At the top of the climb he was turning back to go home and he wanted my number to get together for more rides. Nope. I had told him about my club and I hope he doesn't try to reach me through them. I said too much, I hope he forgets.

I ended with 50 mile and 5K feet, according to Ride With GPS. Tired now.
