David does donuts

 This is what I feared about retirement. Wrote about my injury on the dnf for Busted in De Luz Permanent which was a prep for the Bass Lake Powerhouse Double the following weekend instead of doing an easier Wednesday club ride.  I think it's a simple ankle injury.  Felt well for the Dart on Saturday but felt pain early on but kept on riding which I will find is a mistake.  So my next day's 200 K is a no show.   Rested for a week for the Double Century.  The ankle is still swollen.  Have to bail out on that ride.  On Sunday volunteered to help on the 600K Brevet as I would be returning this way pass Santa Clarita.  Had planned to do a Populaire in the area the next day.  I am using a cane to get around. Another week to rest.  Planned to ride a Permanent before and after the Riverside Citrus Classic which I have not ridden possible 20 years.  My ankle still does not feel right as I take another loss in pre-paid event.  ...

23700 Lyons Ave Newhall, CA 9132 Ate here after my volunteer work for the 600K Brevet. Chicken fried steak.

Eaten here recently.  Put new battery at Autozone in town.  Taking the Domane to JAX's.  Was going to Asia Seafood Buffet again but time restraint has me come here.  Also was going to Costco but did not feel like it. The next day went up to LA to pick up my other bike at Manny's. Also visit my old customers and try Vegas buffet in Glendale. But traffic was bad. Left 7:30. Got to Ontario to fill up with 4.11 gas a lot cheaper at 9, Then to pick up donuts at SK to give. Traffic so slow had to pull off the freeway to pee in a cup in the truck. Find the shop closes on Monda/Tuesday. Decide too late to visit, go to bike shop on surface street. Almost noon. Decide to go home and pick up my other bike and Costco. Got home past 4.
