Lots of climbing today with Facilitator: Mary Vencill and Co-Leaders: Aaron Lewis, Dawn Tso, Steve Wedgwood, Don Brown, and Arjan Bok, with Em and M as SAG. Today we rode out to Moraga, over Lower Pinehurst and Redwood Road to Castro Valley (rest stop 1), then south on Palomares Road and Hwy 84 to Sunol (rest stop 2). Then we rode some easier miles to Pleasanton and Alamo and, then back to Orinda without too much more climbing, except for one last climb as we went up Mt. Diablo Blvd, to Acalanes and up the Frontage Road.
At the crest of Palomares I could see M with provisions, I started calling out her name as I got closer to the crest. Boy did I need that banana, orange, mixed nut bar, mini Twix and Three Musketeers, and water. The gorgeous view from this crest is below.
I had no back pain throughout the ride, so the bike fit two Fridays ago helped. Let's see how I fare tomorrow which will be a longer ride and look similar to today's ride, but longer.
