Nice morning, nice group, nice ride, Turkey Day ride info! It's kinda nice, getting up when it's pretty darned cold, knowing that you've got friends doing the same thing with you. Today it was both Kevins, Eric, JR, Lanier & George. Since it's Tuesday, it was the regular run up Kings, and I dutifully found myself off the back before the halfway point. George, younger Kevin, Lanier & JR finished in the lead group, then Eric, and eventually older (pilot) Kevin and myself. Fortunately we did have an excuse, as pilot Kevin had a flat on the way up, which I dutifully stopped to assist with.We had a slight surprise on West Old LaHonda when, just after entering the forest, we came face-to-face with a large truck coming in the other direction. Being a single-lane road, there wasn't much room to get around it; we all just kinda came to a very sudden stop. The 6 of us must have come very close to toppling into each other, and yet every once of us managed to unclip and stop without incident. Thursday we'll have our traditional Turkey-Day ride. There will be two meeting points; the usual (Olive Hill & Canada Road) at 8:15am (not 7:45!), and another chance to catch us at the base of Old LaHonda at 8:30am. We'll be heading up Old LaHonda, over Haskins to Pescadero (via the LaHonda duck pond), then Stage Road north and back via Tunitas. There will be a stop for food in Pescadero, either at Arcangeli Bakery/Market (if open) or else the Mexican restaurant at the gas station. Pace will be moderate; figure 25 minutes up Old LaHonda, 13 minutes up Haskins, and about 55-60 minutes up Tunitas from the coast. Should be back by 1pm or so. You'll get to burn off the calories before you eat them! |
