Morning Hill Climb
This morning Keeth and I met at the
BART Station for a ride up Tunnel Road to Skyline and Grizzly
Peak. This was the second morning ride like this I’ve done and I know
I’m getting better at it (this was also about the fifth time I rode
that ride).
The change for this morning was that there was a warm wind coming from
over the hill, thus giving us a head wind and making some of the
steeper sections feel even more steep! We prevailed and cranked
through to the top where we had to turn around so we could make it to
work on time. Thankfully the weather was perfect this morning, clear,
warm, and bright.
According to my cyclometer we averaged 6.9MPH on the climb. Overall
it was a little more than 13 miles for me and I hit 49.6MPH max on the
hill descent. I’m really happy I can do this now because the Lifecycle
rides won’t be far off and I’ll be ready for them.
