Road closed? Like that's going to stop us?![]() It wasn't fast nor was it nearly as slow as our times indicated, which of course is a bit tough to reconcile. We took a couple minutes exiting through Huddart Park to shed some clothes, and we weren't riding really fast on the wet pavement; maybe that's where the extra 15 minutes came from? Then again, I'm forgetting about the extra time on West Old LaHonda. As seen in the picture, the road was "closed." You could argue we should have more respect for such signs, but then again, these signs didn't appear until at least half a mile up West Old LaHonda. There was really no debate; we were going ahead. What's the worst that can happen? We're on 'cross bikes, we've got shoes we can hike in. Turned out it was a broken utility poll with a cable, could be power, could be something else, suspended about 3 feet over the road. Easy enough to squeeze under with no danger of electrocution, even if it was a power cable. So sure, the road was closed... to cars. Despite it being not so bad out there, we saw just two other cyclists as we returned through Woodside. Guess most of them were on sunny Zwift Island this morning, spinning away on trainers in their garages. I'll take a real ride over virtual just about any day. --Mike-- |
