Why did Page Mill seem easy today?![]() As for my ride... Kevin and I did something a bit different today. Let me start by saying I hate Page Mill. I just haven't done well on steep stuff in a very long time. But today I decided I wanted to do something other than the usual coastal loop, but still tough. Page Mill to the rescue. My overall time wasn't great because we made two stops on the way up (first, to tighten a rear quick release that was making a racket, and second, to retrieve a water bottle that had ejected from someone else's bike... I don't like bike litter), but I felt like I actually had some real power in my legs on that gnarly section between gates 3 & 4. Strava says I even got a new PR on that part. Truthfully, I could have gone faster, but this was one of those rare days Kevin didn't have his climbing legs. I think today was what Calvin (of Calvin & Hobbes) refers to as an "opposite day." ![]() Not a very long ride; just over 50 miles. Not a very fast ride; 14.3mph. Reasonable amount of climbing (exceeded 1,000ft/10 miles). But pretty much the perfect ride for today. |
