I wouldn’t say that today’s ride up Kings was as easy as Tuesday’s ride was hard, but there was certainly a huge difference between the two. That, despite losing quite a bit of sleep last night when my wife was having some digestive issues.

Since it’s Thursday it was riding up through the park, something my son prefers but it’s always been a bit tougher for me due to the steeper sections you encounter. Still, I managed to keep up with Kevin & Karen. About halfway up Karen pulled away, with Kevin following. My goal was to keep them in sight as long as possible but at the wide open section I noticed I wasn’t losing ground anymore and, in fact, possibly gaining just a bit on Kevin. I did end up catching Kevin just before the top, with Karen still just a bit ahead.

What a difference two days can make.
