Description

A nice day with a moderate effort – I climbed easily on Mtn Charlie with Patrick and Steve Miller – we didn’t hook up with Rich Seiter until we got to the first rest stop at Saratoga Gap. We bumped into Sheila and Chimene after turning off of Summit and onto Skyline (the first part, where the road is narrow and it goes up and down a lot). I stayed with Sheila and Chimene after that, deciding to cut my ride short since I had to save up for the big Timpani crit race on Sunday morning. I rode with Rich Seiter after Saratoga Gap – all the way to the base of Jamison Creek, where he turned to complete the century ride and I continued on with Sheila and Chimene to high-tail it back to Scotts Valley and call it a day – all in all, a nice day on the bike – almost 60 miles and about 6000 feet of climbing – and the day before a big race, too!
