Einstein Bros, Mission Valley

I finally got back to my Bagel Rides after 6 months of taking a break. In January and February is was too cold and too rainy to do the rides. And then I was too out of shape to attempt the final rides which are all 60+ miles. The ride to Einstein Bros Bagels in Mission Valley was good--generally nice roads and it wasn't too warm.

The bagel shop left me a little disappointed. There was a really long line when I got there and there was no outdoor seating. Sitting inside was noisy and a bit smelly (Einstein Bros always has some weird burning smell going on.)

The bike performed beautifully. The new chain guard kept the chain from falling off when shifting to 10th gear. The new 500 Wh battery lasted 52 miles which I'm happy with even though it lasted 55 miles when it was new. I put on the older 400 Wh battery to finish the last 10 miles or so.

Route and stats are below.
