Day Off
I have to go in to work on Saturday for a few hours so I'm taking today off. I just had the bike tuned up so it's begging for a ride. Time to hit up Old La Honda.

Back from my ultra rare chance to ride during a weekday. It was my first time up that climb, I probably should have paced myself better in the lower sections. It took 26 minutes from the small bridge to HW 35. There were no other riders on the road until I was coming down but a lot of delivery trucks driving fast. It's about 43 miles from my place to the top and back.

26 minutes! You da man. Did you bomb down Skyline? That is a very nice descent.

26 minutes ... that's rockin'. Even in my best shape, I could only do 28 minutes ... now, it's more like 40. Great job, Bostic.
Now that Ms. Incredible has that hot Orbea, she'd probably do it in 26 minutes too ...
