Fond memories of the 26-minute monkey on my back, that became 27, 28, 29 and now 30.![]() I needn't have worried; got up and felt fine this morning. Not so fine that I could get rid of the 30 minute monkey on Kings though. It wasn't that long ago I suggested people shouldn't try this ride if they couldn't make it up Kings in less than 30 minutes, and now I'm not qualified for my own ride! It was closer than I've been for a long time though; I hit the wide-open clearing at about 20 seconds off a 30 minute pace, and finished at 30:27, best time since October. Last year I barely got into the 28.xx range, but I'm hopeful to do as well, or even slightly better, this year. Not that I've got any good reason to suspect that to be the case, just a feeling. We saw George show up for the first time in a while, along with Kevin, Kevin & Karen. I kept up with them until the halfway point or so, and then simply tried ot limit my losses. What I need to do is figure out how to set up my Garmin to pace my ride up the hill, showing me over/under (how many seconds ahead or behind) on the way. ![]() The flat was unfortunate; I was thinking today maybe we'd get back on schedule, arriving back at the start by 9:22 or so. Of course, that is also dependent upon the amount of delay descending 84, which today was very minor, maybe just 3 minutes or so. West Old LaHonda? Yes, it's still there. Even the thundering load of 4 cyclists didn't collapse the remaining pavement. |
