Einstein Bros Bagels, Del Mar Heights Rd, San Diego

My ride to Einstein Bros Bagels on Del Mar Heights Rd in Carmel Valley was fun but cold. On the 101 along the coast, I passed a cyclist in full biking gear; I was going about 25 mph to his 22 mph. He then pedaled hard for about a half mile to almost catch up to me. Once he got close, I kicked the power up from ECO all the way to TURBO and pulled away from him at about 28-29 mph and didn't see him again. I love my e-bike for getting rid of the bike snobs that want to race me.

The bagel at Einstein Bros was delicious, as usual. However, I overheard a horrible rumor that they've discontinued the cranberry bagel which is one of my three favorites (along with blueberry and chocolate chip). I hope it isn't true. But if it is, maybe I'll try the apple cinnamon.

The route and stats are below. For the first 20 miles on the way to Einstein Bros, I averaged 20.8 mph which is really fast for me. Unfortunately, I can't count it as an official time because I ran a few miles above ECO mode to get rid of the pesky cyclist who wanted to race.
