It's a warm beautiful day here in SoCal today.  It's days like this that make me wish I could go back to the nude beach at San Onofre State Beach again.  But alas, those with closed minds have the power to make decisions and inflict their ideals on others.  It would also be a nice day for a bike ride, but with the big fire in the mountains above Azusa/Glendora, I'm a little afraid to be out there sucking smoke and particulates into my lungs.  This current heat wave is going to last for several more days according to those in the know so my beach ride on Sunday should be very nice.

It was a beautiful day for a bike ride today. (Wednesday) I decided to put some dirt on my tires and rode in and around Bonelli Park and Puddingstone Lake.  I've added a loop inside the park and the fig 8, including a lap around the airport, is 10.4 miles.  So two times around adds up to just about 21 miles.  It's a tougher ride for me because of the hills and dirt and jumping curbs etc.  But it's a nice change from riding the bike trails along the Santa Ana River.

I took my break at the location shown above, which is at the boat launching area.  As you can see there weren't many folks there.  A couple of boats on the water and several walkers and bike riders.
