And the nearly-perfect weather, maybe 62 degrees and moderately-low humidity as I started out... it's good to be home. The air, the water, it's the best here. And, to be truthful, it felt good to be liberated from a breakfast of french pastries.
Eric, Todd, Karen, Karl & Marcus... as usual, it seems like I'm missing someone (Keith!!!!). I did what I could on the climb, but didn't have any real-time indication as I was riding, since I hadn't located my Garmin computer after packing it (found it later, buried in a shoe in a suitcase). But since the ride doesnt' exist if I don't have evidence from cameras or computers, I used Strava's iPhone app to keep track of things, and apparently rode up the hill in 27:38. I can live with that. And overall it was a pretty fast pace, getting us back to the start a couple minutes earlier than normal. And I barely lived with that!
Neither Kevin rode this morning; don't know where the pilot was, but my son was sleeping in. He missed a good ride.]]>40342012-07-24 22:05:332012-07-25 05:05:33
