Thoughts on urban riding

I was thinking a little more on the ride I took last week around downtown San Diego. The pace I took was definitely more relaxed, and I quite enjoyed taking it slow. Part of this was because I really didn't have anywhere to be and I was trying to take in the surroundings of the city. I paused now and then to take some photos, and made a stop to sit and watch some men playing bocce in Little Italy. In some respects I don't think I was going slow enough and didn't stop to see enough sites. I should join the Down Townies ride one of these days.
