TE girls' hill training program - newest recruit

Hi jobob - I hope you can make it! BTW, your posts (especially on the TDF thread) have really been cracking me up!

Yeah - this Marin ride should be fun - but probably on the hot side - oh well - not much to do about that these days but start early and drink lots. According to my little TOPO program, there'll be 4550 feet of elevation gain...

Your Saturday ride sounds very pleasant also - especially the picnic and ice cream parts! Enjoy!

Oh, jobob, you are so predictable. Glad you know how to focus on the priorities in life. :D Hope to see you (and Lee?) then.

hmmmm, how 'bout libations at the junction?

Yikes - it was pretty darn hot on Old Tunnel Road this morning at 7:00 am! (Even here on the "cool" side of the bay.) Kind of tolerable before the sun hit, but when it did, it was toasty! I mean, I could actually feel the sun's heat on my arms, and it had barely risen...

Has anyone heard if this heat will break before our Mt Diablo ride?

It would be really embarrasing to collapse of heat exhaustion, having just met most of you... And someone would have to make a sled out of my bike, bungee me on, and drag me down the hill on it... I think this would be even more embarrasing than when I tipped over with Kim and Trek... My face would actually be this color --> :o

from the gradient of Diablo - it sounds like they could just make your bike into a sled, bungee you on it and Push you down the Mt! Who knows, it could be your highest descent speed to date!!!

Yep, if you start getting too hot, just start descending and you will cool off real fast...................

I sure will miss you all - but no road bike = no Mt. Diablo :(

Ha! I'm sure it would be my highest descent speed to date, but it's the "cornering-while-unconscious" part that I think will be the real challenge!
