28.6 miles (46.0k). I've been waiting 8½ months for this weather, 73° to start. The trade off is the warmer it gets in the valley, the earlier and more intense the late morning winds.
After yesterday's intense vertical ride to Verdi I probably should have taken it easy, but I wanted to see how well I could climb on the S-Works Tarmac (higher gearing) so I rode up the steep incline Huffaker (lots of other bikes there). I slowed down a little in climbing (low energy) but hit 25mph coming down and continued on around 22mph for the next several mostly flat miles. Wheee! (The only difference between men and boys is the size and the price of their toys.)
