September is a lighter month and our racing season is complete. We are going to spend 10 days in southern California (Newport Beach and San Diego) cycling next week. October starts the strength training and we are doing some of the low key hill climbs that culminates with a race up Mount Hamilton (19 miles 4400 feet) on Thanksgiving morning.
I plan to be at 165 (168 today) by then
with a goal of lowering my time up Hamilton by 7 minutes from last year.
