Thursday, January 20, 2022 -- Manhattan Beach Pier -- Warm Day

Low 70s & sunny.

Felt warm.

First bike ride in over a month (32 days since the last ride).

Longest "break" that I can recall, since riding regularly, due to Christmas driving vacation and being sick...

Nearly 5 weeks is a great break for the body/muscles to recover but the loss of conditioning is significant!

Was very fortunate that it was not very windy today (less than usual).

Heart rate got up to 154...

Beautiful day...

The flag is unusually still...

 

Mitsuwa - Torrance

New location in Del Amo Mall.

Been there about two years.

Very clean store.

But prefer the old store when it was on Western and Carson.

We're more Marukai (Tokyo Central) than Mitsuwa people...

Food court.

Have not seen this business before.

Korean street food...

Corn dogs, egg toast & "t'duk-bo-ki".

I don't know about the first two but as a wee-child in Korea, loved the last one (mochi [t'duk] in spicy sauce).

This is the ramen place (Santouka).

It's good but very expensive.
