Why it's a good idea to print out your Map My Ride...

... because otherwise you can end up on a freeway! Which is sort of what happened to me last Friday (9/4). I redid this great ride I had done with friends Connie and Eduardo from UCI, through Santiago Canyon in OC and then on to the Back Bay Loop. Only after you get on Jamboree, apparently you're supposed to turn left on Portola, but I kept going straight, right past Tustin Marketplace, and then onto where Jamboree becomes like this parkway with all these cars merging from the right! Speed limit says 60mph, so you know they were doing at least 70. Egads! Well, there was no way to go but forward, which I did and eventually turned left on Barranca and found my beloved San Diego River bike path. OK OK next time I'll pay the $2 and print out the Map My Ride!

Thanks, C & E, if you're out there, for taking me on this ride; it was so cool and beautiful and a great tour of OC. And lovely smoothies, after! And thanks for the Yakima rack!!
