Athena looking for GMR ride buddies
I had plans with a friend to ride GMR on Sunday 4/26. Looks like they are not going to ride (last time we planned to do it...she had to cancel). I truly don't want to do it alone but I need the climbing so if I must...I will.
Wondering if Mrs @iTrek would be up for meeting me out there... and of course anyone else who wants to make it. I plan on rolling from the Boulder Springs neighborhood parking area about 8am. I hope to get to the village but am playing by ear.

Would love to go as well, but I'm still on Daddy duty for another month or so.

I just did it again a couple of weeks ago on an OCW training ride. We started at a Starbucks in San Dimas, so it was a little longer than starting from Boulder Springs.
Love to go but I am out of town right now. It's actually raining a bit here in Northern California. Hope you have a good ride!

Well...my friend and I have chosen to delay our ride. The weather today does not bode well for tomorrow. Plus after my ride today I was tired enough I took a nap! Figured body telling me something. So aiming for next Sunday or maybe a Saturday coming up. I forgot that @iTrek and the Mrs can't do Sunday's.

Very good ride, I just checked my time and you beat my time by a little more than a minute!! I need to ride again once my back is fully healed.

These LG shoes may be retired as I think part of it is these shoes.

Well next time you ride let me know. I'm going to slowly get back into climbing mode and really want to do that route again some day.

Most definitely! My friend Lisa was mortified that I did it by myself. Tho in reality I was not by myself as there were many others riding up the road. I have no doubt if I had run into trouble, I would have had help.
