Today was a double ride day -- Whew......
First I started out doing the same ride as Sunday Worlds , It was like Tue meet @ the fountain near the warf @ 8:00. Gary & another Steve & I all went off with the group ( I'm thinking 30+ again ) unlike Tue I could not hang with the group today . Some Guy named Gary was off the front with a few other guys which in effect picked up the pace so the OLD Man could not hang on. I did the last few miles of the first half of the ride alone, then rejoined the group for the ride back. Gary was kind and gave me a few pushes so I could get up the small hills & hang with the group with my tired legs. I hung on for the rest of the ride and GAry did @ ITT to get to work and I went to the house to get ready for ride #2. ( ride #1 -40 miles, a little over 2 hours & 1850' of climbing .
Ride #2 I put on a dry set of riding stuff ate a apple , some nuts, and stuffed a few bars and a gu in my yersey. Up up and MORE up .....
This is where I'm going .. Into the clouds I head & it looks like these shots below...
Three miles from house and several hundred feet of climbing and I'm @ Gibraltar Road. Till I hit 4000 feet above sea level it's all uphill about 10 miles - Fun fun fun & some serious sweating.
So @ 1200 feet up I take another pic of the ocean .
Ok I had to smeel the flowers also ( I am on vacation).Next stop 2100 feet, 7 miles up.. :
