Anytime, you'd do the same for us. So you didn't end up riding Niles Canyon? I was a bit worried about that (mother hen mode kicking in) - I dislike riding that nasty stretch of road in broad daylight.

Well done V
I love "seeing" improvements like this in my own training - so gratifying to know the perserverance and hard work is paying off...
WOOHOO!!!
Way to go, V!!!
Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,
"I will try again tomorrow".

Yeah - I stopped at the train station at Sunol. It just seemed prudent. I had done my primary goal - Hamilton + Sierra. I had wanted 120 miles, but saw no point to riding that section alone in the dark. Plus there was quite a bit traffic.
I could have had Thom follow me in the truck - but I really wasn't dressed for cold.

Fantastic! What a great ride! After all that, Solvang will seem easy by comparison!
