We had a typical Monterey getaway planned, but the Spencer was pretty sick last week, missing four days of school. Then Jenn picked it up, but not nearly as bad. They were mostly recovered, but not completely. We opted to still go to the coast, but without bikes.
Instead of rides we took leisurely walks and took in the sights.
We went to the basketball court a couple times.
Walked some more.
It was only three nights but it was nice to get away. Although I was jonesing to ride the entire time, probably due to Pavlovian response to Monterey, strangely it was also a relief to not ride.
As we prepared to leave, it felt odd to simple put my small duffel bag in the truck without the three bikes, tools, floor pump, GPS units, tail lights, charging units, various accessories, helmets, cycling clothing, etc. It was a simple, stripped down trip missing all the logistics of a normal one.
I guess sometimes it's good to get away from even the one activity you love the most.
Later.
