A lazy amble to the library and back, with a stop at Cascade Cycling to replace my snapped kickstand. Then dinnerward! We thought to sample Rumpspanker's selection of soups, but DAMME if they haven't gone and changed their hours to be closed on Mondays now, in opposition to the menu I picked up last night. So, La Bonita wins the day, and I win a deep fried tongue burrito. Yum!

I suspect that chimichangas are like the delicious art-gum erasers of the cycling world, undoing any gains one might hope to have made. Any gains at all.

Hmm. I plugged the route into gmap-pedometer.com and it reckons—however it reckons such things—that this ride cost me 1150 Calories.

No telling what La Bonita's lengua chimi weighs in at, but an article of uncertain authority that I surfed up suggests that "typically chimichangas pack about 1,420 calories." (http://www.reddingpalm.com/newsarchive/20040802...).

So, in terms of caloric intake vs. expense it's as if I didn't ride my bike at all last night, and ate a few slices of bread while not doing it. Could be worse :)
