Signature Bagel, Escondido

The ride to Signature Bagels in Escondido was really nice. Most of the way was on the Rail Trail bike path. And the ride home was either on roads without much of a bike lane but with few cars, or roads with nice bike lanes but with a lot of cars--both were good for riding.

Signature Bagel was nice. The service was friendly, they had Coke Zero in a self-serve fountain drink, and they have a bathroom. Unfortunately, I found the bagels to be just so-so. They weren't as tasty as other bagels, and the insides weren't very soft and chewy. They reminded me of the bagels at Sun Flour Bagels in Carlsbad.

I still don't have a new chain or sprockets, so I avoided using 10th gear so the chain doesn't fall off the front sprocket. But the parts should come this week so hopefully the next ride I'll have all 10 gears.
