MEA, Racer Ex and I rode to the coast from Redwood City and back via Old La Honda, West Old La Honda and out 84 to the Pacific Ocean. It was another spectacular day of sunshine with temperatures in the 60s. The route took us over Skyline which crests at 1650 feet at the top of OLH. I have not been doing much climbing and most of my riding has been z2 so I suffered on the climb up OLH. After the steeper part of the descent, we did a team time trial to the coast which is about 10 miles. As one can imagine, it was pretty fast and polished off what was left of my legs although I did have to cycle back over Skyline. We stopped for a bite at the beach.
The way back is slightly up hill until we get to the base of Skyline and then it pitches up. I was okay until I really started to climb and then my legs dropped to Fred power. It was awful but I made it to the next point, ate something and my racer power returned (sort of) for the rest of the climb.
3:30, 3700 feet of climbing and 1780 kj.
