An enjoyable ride on a chilly winter afternoon. After brief stops at Luckie Park and JTNP HQ I ground up the hill to Baseline Road and around past the casino to Sullivan and Hatch Roads and made a visit to Knott's Sky Park which I had not visited previously. This land was donated to the city by the Knott's family of Knott's Berry Farm fame. The park is much larger than it appears on the map. After a pit stop I crossed the highway onto Larrea Avenue and came home via Two Mile Road and Utah Trail.
This is the longest ride I have taken for some time and it felt good. In deference to my lack of conditioning I have replaced the double sided mountain bike/platform pedals with metal all platform pedals in hopes that it will promote a more relaxes riding style. The idea is to go out on a tour when the days are a bit longer and warmer with no particular plan other than to head in a general direction and take my time and go as far as feels good each day. My days of putting in relatively big days are over I fear.
