Los Gatos to Markleeville

Long waits at line for new blog post.

Hi guys,

Sorry for the delay in getting a new blog post up. I’ll write something later today asap. Short version is that this last weekend Dave K. and I went out for a 55-miler along the pennisula.  We got a chance to try out Old La Honda road, cruise along Skyline and try not to get killed descending 84. I suck at descending. Bad!

Weekend before that was the rainy weekend where I went up Hicks Road (insanely steep!) up to Mount Umunhum Road, one of the worst-paved roads I’ve ever seen. Details coming soon.

Brother Sharp had this to report:

So I’m out on a 22 mile easy recovery ride from SLO to Avila Beach and back this morning.  On the way out a member of Team High Road Emilia Fahlin http://www.cyclingnews.com/photos.php?id=/photos/2008/features/highroad_launch08/JD_HRpresent017
rides up from behind me and asks if I can join her on my ride.  She was real nice as I took her down the Bob Jones Trail and offered to take her up Cape Landing Road for a Hill Repeat.  She says “No Hills..We better Stick to Flats ya”  She was doing a 3 hr ride vs. my short 1hr & 20 minute ride.  Come down here and you can train with world class athletes.

Nice! I don’t know how the wife would react to me training with this young Swedish lady. I’ll ask her and let you know. ;-)

So, more details on those rides coming soon. Hold your breath!

Okay. Let it out. :-)
