Dead-end roads off Skyline- two down, one to go!With west-side Old LaHonda still under construction, it was time for yet another variant of the Tuesday/Thursday-morning ride. Almost warm enough to go without leg warmers and a base layer... almost, but not quite. Better to keep the knees protected. No need for long-fingered gloves at least! Predictably large group today, with Karl, Kevin, Kevin, Eric, Karen and Jan, whom we haven't seen for a while. Kevin (the pilot) lied about his intention to ride slowly up the hill; last I saw of him on Kings he was up at the front with Kevin (my son) and Karl. I was doing my best to try and work my way back up to Jan, who's likely figured out that I fall apart on the steeper sections and then claw my way back when the grade eases up. ![]() If you would like to check out Bear Gulch, I'd do it sooner than later. This is not a ride to do on a warm day, nor is it a ride to attempt without a low gear (the road is too narrow to effectively zig-zag your way up the hill, although Jan did an admirable job of trying). But it's definitely one to scratch off your list. |
