Back on the Bike!
Gina first time back on the bike after a few weeks so we took it easy around Bonelli Park (18 miles). Couple of short loops across the dam, Puddingstone, Fairplex then the horse stables. Then a drop down to the lower parking lot to snoop around. Dark cloudy day off and on with the sunshine. Felt cold at first but not so bad. Looked colder than it was I guess! But any ride without rain is a good ride ha ha! Especially after the crazy weather we had yesterday, rain, wind, and crazy hail!

Bet it felt good! Looks like a nice ride.

Nice! I only rode that loop twice but it really is cool. I'm just not morally stern enough to do laps, I have to get far away from home so that I'm forced to ride all the way back. :D
I went hiking with the kids in Yosemite this week - 6 miles, 2500 ft of climbing (and that was just Tuesday) and my legs are still sore as h**l. I went for a little test ride today just to make sure I could still bike and apparently hiking muscles are different from biking muscles because it was OK. |

Try inline skating then ride, your legs will feel it.:D |
I can inline skate like a mofo, no worries there, It's walking and hiking that does me in.
Did you, um, look at your segment times by any chance? Sorted by clydes? Hm? :D |

I had a mechanical, which cost me on the "whole loop" times. Inexplicably, you outsped me on the down hills but I seem to have equally inexplicably torched you on some climbs, which I never thought would happen.
Dangit, now I have to go back. :D Allez, Allez, Allez! |
Excellent vid (as always)! Thanks for sharing with us.
What is the song here? |
Looks like a good time!

Man, I can't wait until I get my degree and find a job. California looks like a very cycle friendly state, not to mention the awesome spots to ride.

I guess I should pay attention. Ha ha.

Beautiful day for a ride, Beanz. Did the wind kick up down there. Blowing like a banshee up here. I may try to get out tomorrow for the first ride since treatments ended. Here's hoping.
|
PJ - you haven't been out yet? Congrats on ending treatments and I'd be happy to drag my bike up there and ride with you... Wednesdays only, I can't abide driving up there every day. :D
