Monday was too hot to ride at 104F. The rain drops didn't stop me tonight.

Movie or Bike. On a sunny Sunday afternoon I chose the bike. It was hot and my muscles said what the heck. It beat me up. Spit me out and challenged me to improve. Another bonus was tagging up with Shane sitting in the skinniest sliver of shade under the electronic sign. How many times have you been up? Once? Time for another lap dude. The CHP motorcycle patrolman reminded us of single file. Somehow they miss the speeding car going 55 mph++.

Day and Night

Heres the difference between my Wednesday night ride and Bill's Wednesday morning ride.

Sunny Day - Long Ride

It was a day of catching up and saying good bye to my friend, John. His plan is to help those in need in the third world. His ability to power up to the shed on his Fixie will be missed.

Joan waited for me at the shed. I was a bit late as I took photos. The bugs were out in full force. I swatted one biting me on the hand through my glove! Joan was ready to head down, while I ventured forth.  Mike joined me on the ride to Glendora Ridge Road mile marker 4 - the Point of No Return.

The view from Fork plus four shows Glendora Ridge Road mile marker six turnout in the background.

The view from Glendora Ridge Road mile marker 8.3. It was a warm day and the lesson I learned was to use chilled water in the water bottles. Last week it was cloudy and chilly. This week it was sun, sun, sun.

The view never gets old.

I passed Norris on the way up to Glendora Ridge Road 8.3. He joined me on the down hill. And admired the view over the edge at mile marker 6.2.

His friend Leslie, caught up with us as we took photos.

The mental comfort of having others close by meant keeping up.  I did well on the hot ride up to Fork Plus 4 and didn't stop until the shed. I rode back to the shed with Leslie and Norris. It was a good break to catch my breath slug some water and polish off the snack.

Wednesday Night Ride

Wow. I saw Jason on the road last night. Then Travis and Steve Y. Passed me by. Lots of people on the road. Now where did I put my water.

Wednesday evening ride.

Monday Night Ride

Monday Night Ride is back with the power of three. Heather, Joan and myself rode up the road in the cool cloudy evening. The surprise fun was catching Steve I., Jayden and Adam on their mountain bikes. Adam who has two months of biking flew up the hill. A born climber.
