Typical After Work Ride
To disable ads, please log-in.
I did not have to work today, so we actually went out around 2 PM.
Mount Diablo had some interesting clouds around it. I'll be glad when my knee is completely healed and I can do some real climbing again. I kept looking at the mountain, wishing I was heading up it.
We have this great country road that is closed to traffic. It is about 3 miles long and has some awesome rollers. We saw two coyotes out there, a loose cow that I hope doesn't wander out on to the main road, and crazy farmer dude delivering hay. He stayed on his side of the road this time though.
It was a nice easy ride - almost 19 miles and 740 feet of climbing.

Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,
"I will try again tomorrow".

Indeed. I'm doing one of those on Show Day/Friday.
Drink coffee and do stupid things faster with more energy.

I hope the dumbo who did that wasn't someone from your office.
I'm hitting Long Bays
with a friend. Timing it to fit in lunch in Sumner toward the end too. Hope the weather's alright - I can live with not-so-warm, but I'm not keen on the idea of ninety-odd (by the time I ride from home) kilometres in the rain.

My typical after work ride is a loop that is just under 16 miles. It takes me anywhere between 57 minutes and an hour and 2 minutes. I have a few shorter and longer variations of this loop. I get bored, but it's always beautiful.
