Today was another wierd one! Went out to the bus stop to catch my connection ride to the trolley. As the bus rounded the corner there were already two bikes in the rack, with a friendly wave the bus drove by. This connection is important as it leaves me stranded 60 miles from home if I miss it.

I jumped on the bike and set out to the trolley station some 7 miles away. Much to my surprise I not only made the trolley, but I beat the bus.... Once on the trolley I was feeling pretty proud of my acomplishment till I suddenly noticed I had jumped on the wrong trolley (again)... With a quick departure I managed to get on the right trolley and made the connection with the train.

I elected to try a new route today (16 miles) from Fallbrook to Temecula. The route was totally hills. Not the fun short one's but the 7 miles of gradual grade that leaves to talking to road signs and fire hydrants.

Once in Temecula I came across some guys stealing gas which resulted in a call to 911, and a wait for the local cops....

All in a day!
