You Two Again?

I decided to go for a ride today and I ran into my sister inlaws on my way up Alum Rock Park. It nice running into them. The roads were much drier than the other day so I went part way up Mt. Hamilton Rd via Miguelita Rd.

Goodbye Jeordi

Intervals...Intervals...Intervals

Today was a good day to ride. After the last nights precipitation dousing I knew the roads would be damp. I didn't get out till about noon, figuring I would let the roads dry up abit.

I started up with a high cadence from the house then when I hit Piedmont Road, I started my intervals. Once I got to Alum Rock Park, I held a steady 70 rpm on the climb. There is a short climb to the top after passing the gate so I decided to pick up the pace and try to do a standing climb all the way to the top. I manage to do 80% of that effort. I was happy with that effort.


On the way down, I ran into my sis-in-law C and her sister M. I took it easy the rest of the way home keeping them company.
