I WATCHED THE WEATHER REPORT ALL WEEK AND IT SAID RAIN UNTIL THURS. IT CHANGED IN OUR FAVOR. NO RAIN BUT WAS CHILLY AT 8 AM WHEN WE STARTED THE RIDE. I DRESSED WRONG. I WORE THE WRONG GLOVES AND A WINDBREAKER. THE GLOVES HAD TO COME OFF WAY TOO HOT AND THE WINDBREAKER STAYED ON BUT I HAD A NICE SWEAT GOING ON AND GOT CHILLED EVERY TIME WE STOPPED AND HAD TO CHANGE QUICK WHEN WE GOT BACK TO THE CAR. I STILL LEARN SOMETHING EVERY TIME I GO OUT. HERE IS A LINK TO MY GARMIN UPLOAD
HALF MOON BAY GARMIN UPLOAD
I FEEL THIS WAS OUR MOST CHALLENGING RIDE SO FAR. IT WAS 70 MILES WITH 6K FEET OF CLIMBING. SOLVANG IS 103 MILES WITH 5.5K OF CLIMBING... SO I FEEL WE ARE GOING TO BE READY FOR OUR FIRST CENTURY IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS.
OUR RIDE IN HALF MOON BAY WAS BEAUTIFUL. SCENERY, ROADS, AND CLIMBS. HEATHER'S GROUP TOOK MORE PICS THAN WE DID. I'M THE ONLY NERD WITH A CAMERA IN MY GROUP. I'M TOO BUSY TRYING TO BE FAST WITH THE OTHER GUYS TO TAKE OUT MY CAMERA AND BE A TOURIST. BUT I DID GET A COUPLE LIKE THIS ONE OF MY BIKE GETTING FRIENDLY WITH THE CUTE GUY'S FELT.
TEAM IN TRAINING DOES A GOOD JOB OF FINDING ROADS THAT ARE GREAT FOR RIDING. ONCE WE GOT OFF HWY.1 WE WERE ON ROADS THAT FELT LIKE A BIKE PATH. NO CARS AND WE COULD RIDE SIDE BY SIDE AND TALK, I HATE WHEN WE HAVE TO RIDE SINGLE FILE. I GET YELLED AT ALOT FOR ALWAYS TRYING TO RIDE DOUBLE WHEN IT REALLY SHOULD BE SINGLE FILE... I DON'T LIKE RULES SOMETIMES. GOT TO RUN WILL FINISH POST LATER..
