The Bu
It was such a nice day, I had to go for a ride. I told Carole I'd be back around 10:30am with breakfast burritos from Lucky Boys in Pasadena - one of her favorite breakfasts.
It started out a little cold, so I put on my Widder, but by the time I got the Santa Monica I had turned it almost all the way down. I did not have my V-1, and there were lots of LEOs on PCH, so I could only go a little above the posted limit. A lot of other riders had the same idea, and the weather in Malibu was fantastic.
I turned north at Las Posas, and realized I was cutting the schedule close - Lucky Boys makes breakfast late on the weekends, but I thought 11am was my limit. I pushed things a little, and made up some good time, but construction at the 101 and 405 slowed me down a lot - even with some judicious lane sharing.
The high speeds also cut into my gas mileage so much that I had to stop for gas. I got off the 134 at Cahuenga, and called Carole while I pumped, telling her to phone in the order to Lucky Boys. I got there at 11:08, and they were just packing up the order, so it was still nice and hot when I got home.
I made sure to show Justin when I took off my Widder, so he could mock me about being cold.
