Training Ride - June 15, 2008







The Russians planned a hard 70 mile ride to the coast today but the weather called for a change in plans. When we met at 9 AM at Canada Road and Highway 92, it was cold, the wind was howling (we had to seek shelter along the vehicle) and Skyline was all fogged in. We headed south on Canada, out Mountain Home, up Alpine, down Arastradero, right on Purissima, right on Elena for a short climb, around Foothill College; returning back out Foothill, Sand Hill, and Whiskey Hill. We had a smaller group of about 8 of us. The weather quickly warmed up, although the coast still would have been nasty. A good 42 miles - easy compared to the brutal ride out to the coast and back.
