Description

A solo birthday ride – none of my biking buddies was available to join me – oh, well – I kept a consistent and moderate pace, while pushing it a little harder on a couple of the climbs and managed to get a new PB on the Laurel Glen climb – 3:19 – breaking my old PB by 13 seconds! I also just about tied my current PB on the first Granite Creek climb – missing it by just 1 second – I did 2:37 !! On the second Granite Creek climb, I finally felt a little tired and only did 3:57, not even close to my PB of 3:11 – but my overall average speed for the ride of 17.6 mph was quite excellent! All in all, it was a nice birthday ride, even if I was all alone – and the weather couldn’t have been better! I also had an excellent average of 20.0 mph for my ride from our house to the rest stop at Capitola Beach – just 42:53 to get there! Wooooooohooooooo!!!!!
