On Golden Pond? First Pescadero/Tunitas ride for Kevin in almost 3 months.![]() As expected, quite a few more cars than have been on the road lately, pretty close to normal weekend traffic, despite still being in the Covid-19 shelter-in-place timeframe. Old LaHonda went much better (for Kevin) than last week; I was hanging on a few times, but he did begin to tire a bit at the end. Despite the warm weather, no snakes on West Old LaHonda. Very surprised by that! The duck pond was sporting quite a few turtles and what might have been a very small... darn, forgetting the name of the bird! Heron. That's it. Haskins Grade was... slow! Really slow. And pretty good headwind going into Pescadero, which was a bit of a surprise. You'd think the warm air would be pushing out to the ocean, not the other way around. ![]() Tunitas? Ah, well, let's just say it was slow. Like Haskins, only felt worse. The only good thing is that, our time away from Tunitas seemed to have messed up our sense of "where is the grassy knoll" section (where it begins to flatten out), and we hit it earlier than I thought. That was nice. Usually we misjudge corners thinking we're closer to the top than we really are. Overall a good ride although Kevin will of course say otherwise, since it was about 15 miles longer than West Alpine would have been. |
