Course complete. You win!Time for an "ugly" ride, something not terribly long but far more challenging than the mere mileage or climbing would indicate. So last night, with Kevin's help, I put together an "ugly" ride. Something tough to do on a warm/hot day (it was just under 100 much of the ride). Something I could program into the Garmin ahead of time so I would be less tempted to modify things along the way. Today's "ugly" ride had us going up Page Mill (Kevin's idea) to Skyline, south on Skyline to 9 (and south on Skyline is so much tougher than going north, even though the elevation change isn't much different), lunch at Mr. Mustard, then down 9, up & over Eden & Pierce to Los Altos, then a different sort loop through the Foothills, different in that I discovered new forms of torture on a hot day. I'll post more details tomorrow. Oh, the title. At the end of the ride Kevin's computer flashed "Course complete. You win!", apparently a message that we beat the time estimate. Rest assured, we were in fact beat by the end of this ride! |
