Sat am - East Bay Hills?

[bikerz]

Hey - that was a fun ride today - it was aka_Kim, Miffy'sFuji (and her friend Chris), Winddance (who had to leave us early due to a migraine ), and me. We got off to a little bit of a late start because the ride organizer (um, that would be me!) forgot the maps at home! And than as it turned out, we didn't really even need them.

According to my computer, we did just under 24 miles, with just under 2400 ft of climbing. My average speed for the whole ride was 9 mph - and I think this was the first time I've gone all the way up Pinehust above 3 mph the whole way! Everyone was on mountain bikes except me - that's got to be hard work!

It was great climbing weather (for me, that is) - cool, cloudy, not very windy. And the descending was a blast! And Kim and I saw a fox as we came down Skyline - wow - I've never seen a fox so close before.

Thanks for coming along, you guys - I had a great time!

Sounds like you girls had fun. Remind me not to ask to going riding with you girls though 2400ft in 24 miles I think I would require some sort of resuscitation.

Trekhawk liking the flatlands more and more.

Nope, you and your Team Sandbagger teammate Z would be just fine.

I had great fun! Thanks Ann and Kim. Lisa, I hope that you feel better now.

[winddance]

I do! Thanks for the kind thoughts. A handful of ibuprofen and 16 hours of sleep will do that....

I am *so* glad I did not try to ride that. It was just not going to happen. That being said, we now have an excuse to do it again, because I would really like to ride those hills!

I'm glad you're feeling better Lisa!

(And I like that little tag line of yours - "matchy matchy" - pretty funny!

I've been grumpy and out of sorts all day and I feel like I need another ride Tuesday or Wednesday to reset my mood! (umm, don't I sound like good riding company? )

I am also incredibly grumpy. I need a ride that will make me want to get up off of my couch instead of pulling a blanket over my head and hiding from the world.

Tomorrow I have a late pm conference call, so there's no skipping out early, but I could do an evening ride. I would love to do an evening ride.
